  • I. Mahavihara or “Great Monastery” of Anuradhapura that was founded by the king Devanampiya Tissa who ruled between 307 B.C.E. to 267 B.C.E.
  • II. Abhayagiri vihara – where an ancient stupa stands today, the Abhayagiri Dagba. It was established by the king Valagamba between 89 B.C.E. and 77 B.C.E.
  • III. Jetavana – another popular monastery that was founded by king Mahasena who ruled between 277 B.C.E. and 304 C.E. The layout of the Jetavana monastery is similar to the Abhayagiri vihara though with smaller in dimensions.
