Polonnaruwa / Attractions / Palace and Royal Pavillion
King Parakramabahu’s palace is today left with only three of its original seven storeys. The extraordinarily thick walls have large holes where giant beams supporting the ceiling were inserted. The remnants of a drainage system and the stub of a staircase point to the palace’s past glories.
The Royal
Pavillion across is embellished with beautiful rock sculptures
such as the lion portals, a five legged elephant and the delicate
moonstone, a semi circu- lar stepping stone found at the entrance
to important buildings. Further is the Kumara Pokuna or the Royal
Bath, a stepped tank with crocodile spouts fed by the Parakrama
Samudra.
