Bathalagoda Lake was built in the reign of queen Kalyanawathi, in pre Christian times for the purpose of water supply to an ancient city which for many centuries has been merely referred to as ‘Parana Nuwara’. According to Parker who was involved the restoration of the Bathalgoda Wewa in around 1890, its antiquity is proved by the dimensions of the bricks found at its southern sluice, its flood escape and a building which may have been a Vihara close to the southern end of the embankment.
