The most important ones are the Stūpas I, II and III at Sanchi where relics of Moggalayana and Sāriputta are preserved in Stūpa No. III. Stūpas I and III are on the main terrace and Stūpa II on the western side of the hill. There are also ancient foundations of two apsidal temples, Temple 18 near the main Stūpa to the south of it and Temple 40 with the foundations of an apsidal hall or *Maṇḍapa* at a distance in the southern area. There are five principal monasteries but built in the Gupta and medieval periods.
