Medirigiriya Vatadageya (Sinhala: මැදිරිගිරිය වටදාගෙය) is a Buddhist structure (Vatadage) in Medirigiriya, Sri Lanka. The structure has been formally recognised by the Government as an Archaeological Protected Monument.[1]
Constructed during the Anuradhapura era,[2] this is believed to be the ancient Mandalagiraka Vihara to which King Kanittha Tissa added an Uposathaghara (a chapter house).[3][4]
