Lemyathnar Pagoda
 About a distance of 150 feet to the northwest of
the Dukkhanthein Pagoda is the Laymyetnha Pagoda or
"the four-faced pagoda". King Minsawmon, the first
king of Mrauk-U Dynasty, built it in 1430 A.D. It is
one of the five pagodas built at the beginning of
the establishment of the city. It is a square
structure, with a long protruding portal towards
each cardinal point. The interior room is octagonal.
In the center of the latter there is an octahedral
column intended to support the circular tower
erected over the center of the roof. Over each of
the four corners of the terrace a smaller circular
stupa was built. Each side of the square of the
shrine measures 55'; the portals are 13' broad and
protrude 17' into the platform.
The central tower is circular and has the shape
of a dome, with a circumference of 80 feet at the
base and is 70 feet high. There are 28 Buddha images
as mentioned in the Sambuddha scripture.
