Lovamahapaya is a building situated between Ruwanweliseya and Sri Mahabodiya in the ancient city of Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. It is also known as the Brazen Palace or Lohaprasadaya because the roof was covered with bronze tiles. Whilst the Jetavanaramaya, Abhayagiriya and Ruwanwelisaya were taller structures, the Lovamahapaya remained the tallest building of the island for over a millennium between 155BC and 993AD. The small building displayed now is a recent construction and is the Venue of Uposatha (chapter house) of the Maha Vihara even now.

| - Lova Maha Paya o Lovamahapaya és un edifici situat entre Ruvanveliseya i Sri Mahabodiya en la ciutat antiga d'Anuuradhapura, Sri Lanka. És també conegut com el palau de Bronze o Lohaprasadaya perquè el sostre estava cobert amb rajoles de bronze Fou elevat sobre 1600 columnes de granit per acomodar al clergat. L'estructura fou adornada amb plata, or i pedres precioses a més de tenir la teulada de coure. Incloïa un tron d'ivori a la sala principal amb els emblemes del Sol i la Lluna en plata i or i el chatra o para-sol (símbol de domini) daurat sobre bàcul de plata. En temps antics, l'edifici va incloure el refectori i el uposathagara (Casa de Uposatha ). Hi hi havia també un simamalake on el Sangha es reunia els dies anomenats Poya per recitar el sutra de la confessió. El famós Lohaprasada, construït pel rei Gamani o Dutugemunu, descrit com un edifici de nou pisos, era un dels edificis d'aquesta classe. Un costat de l'edifici tenia 120 metres de llarg. Hi ha 40 files, cada fila consisteix en 40 pilars de pedra, amb un total de 1600 pilars. Es creu que la construcció de l'edifici va durar sis anys. L'edifici fou completament destruït durant el regnat del rei Saddhatissa. El Jetavanaramaya, el Abhayagiriya i el Ruwanwelisaya eren estructures més baixes i el Lovamahapaya va quedar com l'edifici més alt de l'illa durant un mil·lenni entre 155 aC i el 993. L'edifici petit que hi ha ara és una construcció recent i és el local de Uposatha (casa del capítol) del temple Maha Vihara encara avui dia. (ca)

There was also a where the Sangha assembled on Poya days to recite the sutra of the confessional.

There are 40 rows, each row consisting of 40 stone pillars, for a total of 1600 pillars. It is said that Lovamahapaya was adorned with corals and precious stones. It is believed that it took six years for the construction of the building and the plan was brought from the heavens. The building was completely destroyed during the reign of King Saddhatissa. Whilst the Jetavanaramaya, Abhayagiriya and Ruwanwelisaya were taller structures, the Lovamahapaya remained the tallest building of the island for over a millennium between 155BC and 993AD.
