一座高耸的砖砌建筑，无屋顶的墙壁高耸在一座巨大的无头立佛周围，这是波隆纳鲁沃最引人注目的遗址之一。

概述

兰卡提拉卡 (Lankatilaka) 是一座巨大的砖砌像屋，矗立在阿拉哈纳皮里维纳 (Alahana Pirivena) 修道院的废墟中。两堵巨大的砖墙高约 17 米，构成了一座巨大的立佛像的框架，该佛像已失去头部，但仍保留其强大的存在。造型复杂的砖砌立面装饰着微型神殿，色彩鲜艳，生动地体现了波隆纳鲁沃建筑的规模和雄心。

历史

The image house was built in the 12th century by King Parakramabahu I as the centrepiece of the Alahana Pirivena, a monastic university on the slopes above the city. Its brick vault has long since collapsed, leaving the tall side walls open to the sky. It forms part of the UNESCO-listed Ancient City of Polonnaruwa.
