In the centre, standing in a spacious circle, rises the great Dagoba, forming a grand coup d'oeil from the entrance gate.

Two hundred and sixty feet from the base the Dagoba rears its lofty summit.

Two circular terraces, each of some twenty feet in height, rising one upon the other, with a width of fifty feet, and a diameter at the base of about two hundred and fifty, from the step-like platform upon which the Dagoba stands.

These are ascended by broad flights of steps, each terrace forming a circular promenade around the Dagoba; the whole having the appearance of white marble, being covered with polished stucco ornamented with figures in bas-relief.

The Dagoba is a solid mass of brickwork in the shape of a dome, which rises from the upper terrace.
