Nissanka Malla Audience Hall (නිස්සංකමල්ල රාජ සභා මණ්ඩපය)

Also in the same area as the unidentified structure of the Nissanka Malla, this is made of solid rock and probably held a wooden roof. The building has been held by 48 stone pillars laid in 4 rows. The throne is a massive lion carved in stone. “Throne of the King” is carved at the bottom of the lion figure.
This building has a high importance to the historians as all the pillars are carved with the person’s designation who would sit there.
