As in 1857 all the important buildings of Amarapura had been transferred to Mandalay, 12 kilometers to the Northeast, there is not much left of the ancient royal town. You can still see the ruins of four pagodas, which once defined the corners of the quadratic palace grounds. Close to Amarapura is the Mahagandayon temple area. It was built in the 50's of the 20th century and is architectonically not particularly interesting. But Mahagandayon is the largest Buddhist monastery in Myanmar accommodating more than 1,000 monks during the Buddhist Lent. About 700 monks reside in the monastery all year round.
