kondawgyi temple

The Kondawgyi probably derives its name, “Great Holy Mound”, from its situation on a mound. A 13th century temple, it has, like the Thetkyamuni nearby, receding terraces surmounting the main square block. However, there is no spire, and a large stupa rises immediately above the terraces.
