Over the Sacred City of Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka
I went on a pilgrimage to Anuradhapura with my family the last time I was in Sri Lanka. This video capture some of the ancient wonders from a bygone era. I'm not even sure which pagoda is which at this point but I'm pretty sure Ruwanweli Seya and Mirisawatiya are there.

Abhayagiri Dagoba (Stupa) in Anuradhapura - Tourist Destination in Sri Lanka.
As at the Mahavihara & Jetavana monasteries, Abhayagiri's most striking feature is its dagoba. In its glorious days, it is believed to have stood around 115m tall, only slightly smaller than Jetavana Dagoba, making it the fourth tallest in the ancient world after Khufru & Khafra at Gizeh, Egypt & Jetavana Dagoba. Following a restoration by King Parakrambahu the great, the dagoba may have stood over 100m high. The loss of its pinnacle has now reduced its height to around 70m tall. The dagoba, built over a footprint of the Buddha is 400 m in circumference & bears some similarities to the earlier Thuparama. Some columns remain of its vatadage.

Rayappa Kasi Lankarama Dagoba, Anurathapura, Sri Lanka
The Lankarama Dagoba, also called Lankaramaya, is one of the sacred Buddha sites in Anuradhapura. The Lankarama Dagoba located along the road from Abhayagiri to Thuparama Dagoba. It was built by King Vattagamini Abhaya between 89 BC and 77 BC.
Originally, the Lankarama Dagoba had a conical roof covering that is now long gone. This building is identified as the Silasobbhakandaka Cetiya built by King Valagamba, who went into hiding after being defeated by the Tamils.
There are three concentric circles of columns around the Lankarama Dagoba. As in the Thuparama Dagoba, the columns of the Lankarama Dagoba used to support the roof of a vatadage, or circular stupa house.
