Built in the 3rd century by King Mahasena, the Jetavanarama Dagoba's huge dome may have originally stood over 100m high, but today is about 70m, a similar height to the Abhayagiri, with which it is sometimes confused. At the time it was built it was the third-tallest monument in the world, the first two being Giza pyramids in Egypt.
