    Tissa Wewa (ࢭිසා වැව) is an ancient irrigation tank was built by King Devanampiyatissa (250-210 BC).The embankment of Tissa Wewa is 11,000 feet long (Two miles) and 25 feet high.Tissa Wewa receives water through the ancient canal of Jaya Ganga, an ancient canal originating at Kala Wewa.Β It's recommended to visit there for relaxing, windy and comfortable. Don't bin your belongings there and keep everything with you when you are returning. Save water and environment.

    This is a public place and need no tickets to enter. This Junction links Padeniya Anuradhapura main road to the Anuradhapura main street and two roads leading to two suberbs of Anuradhapura namely Wijayspura and Pubudupura. There is a round a bout there and usually there is a lot of traffic there.

    It's not just a roundabout, it's one of the most famous landmarks in Anuradhapura. It's sort of like the main entrance to the city of Anuradhapura because vehicles from New Kandy Road, Puttalam Colombo Road & Ella Road is through this junction.

    Tissa Wewa is an ancient irrigation tank was built by King Devanampiya Tissa (250-210 BC). Only Panda Wewa and Abhaya Wewa are considered to be older than Tissa Wewa. The embankment of Tissa Wewa is 11,000 feet long (Two miles) and 25 feet high. The width of the top of the reservoir was found to be 12 feet to 18 feet. Base of the embankment is 160 feet. Tissa Wewa has an area of approximately 550 acres. Mahawansa reports that King Bhatikabaya (20 BC-9 AC) pumped water using a machine up to Ruwanweli Seya and sprayed water to flowers which covered the full stupa. Further, water from this reservoir was also used to fill the tanks of Ranmasu Uyana, the Royal water garden next to the Isurumuniya Viharaya. Tissa Wewa receives water through the ancient canal of Jaya Ganga, an ancient canal originating at Kala Wewa. The excess water is released to the Malwathu Oya river. The embankment of the Tissa Wewa tank is approximately 3 km long. Parker in 1909 reports that the embankment appears to be in original state ( that of 1100 years ago) and its so solidly built, with little maintenance this bund will last forever. Just as he commented, the Tissa Tank continues feed water to the Anuradhapura even today.
