ジェタヴァナラマ ストゥーパまたはジェタヴァナラマヤは、アヌラーダプラの遺跡にある仏教の遺物を収めるためのストゥーパで、スリランカのユネスコ世界遺産都市に位置しています。122メートル（400フィート）の高さで、建設当初、世界で最も高いストゥーパであり、また、世界で3番目に高い建造物でもありました。アヌラーダプラのマハセナ王（273年–301年）によって建てられました。彼は、アヌラーダプラのマハヴィハラヤの破壊後に、このストゥーパの建設を開始しました。彼の息子であるマガヴァンナI世がストゥーパの建設を完成させ、ポロンナルワのパラクラマバフ1世によって再建されました。ここに安置されているのは、仏陀が結んだ帯の一部であると信じられています。

この建物は、島の歴史において重要です。なぜなら、それはテラヴァーダ派とマハーヤーナ派の仏教の対立を象徴しているからです。さらに、この建物は古代の世界における最も高い建物の一つとして、記録された歴史においても重要であり、最も高い非ピラミッド型の建造物でもあります。ストゥーパの高さは122メートル（400フィート）で、古代世界で最も高いストゥーパとして知られていました。11世紀にアヌラーダプラ王国が破壊され放棄された後、このストゥーパはジャングルに覆われました。12世紀にパラクラマバフ王はこのストゥーパを再建し、現在の高さに修復されましたが、元の高さよりも低くなっています。今日、ストゥーパは71メートル（233フィート）の高さで立っています。

この複合施設は約5.6ヘクタールの広さで、約10,000人の仏教僧が住んでいたと推定されています。ストゥーパの一辺は176メートル（576フィート）で、四方の階段はそれぞれ9メートル（28フィート）の幅を持っています。ストゥーパの中庭にある聖堂の扉の柱は8メートル（27フィート）の高さです。ストゥーパの基礎は8.5メートル（28フィート）の深さで、岩盤の上にあります。

この構造はもはや最も高いものではありませんが、それでも最も大きいものであり、基底面積は233,000平方メートル（2,508,000平方フィート）です。その建設には約9330万個の焼き固めたレンガが使用されました。この構造の建設における工学的な巧妙さは、島の歴史における重要な発展を示しています。
