Sri Lanka
Discover this enigmatic archaeological relic, once part of a majestic palace and now surrounded by the remnants of an age-old royal residence.
Discover the enchanting Biso Pokuna, also known as “Queen’s Pond”, shrouded in the grandeur of an era long past. This stone slab pool is gracefully integrated into the earth, and despite being reclaimed by nature, the pristine preservation of the pool is a marvel of architectural finesse. You can trace the footsteps of time as you gaze upon the well-preserved steps leading into the pool and the intricate channels that once carried water in and out. Remarkably, an exquisitely crafted urinal hints at the palace's opulence, transporting you back to the grandeur of its bygone days. Immaculately crafted stone slabs line the pool's floor, while four dragon-headed spouts adorn the cardinal points, providing water to the pool. These conduits, adorned with exquisitely carved damsel figures, add an artistic touch to this architectural marvel.
