The small but exceptionally well-preserved Nalanda Gedige temple from around 700 to 1000 AD is of particular cultural and historical appeal for many reasons. Firstly, it is the oldest building in Sri Lanka, which was built entirely from natural stone, i.e. without brick fillings. Secondly, it forms a combination of Buddhist and Hindu and Sinhalese and Tamil elements stylistically, although hardly any other Buddhist building in Sri Lanka shows such a clear similarity to classic South Indian temple architecture
