The second *stūpa* of Anurādhapur is the tope of Jetavanārāma. In form and dimensions it resembles the Abhayagiri. It was started by king Mahāsena in the fourth century A.D. and finished by his successor Meghavarna. In addition to these, there is a great number of *dāgabas* of various sorts scattered over the area once covered by the old city.
