Sithulpawwa Rajamaha Viharaya is an ancient Buddhist rock monastery complex located near Yala in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka.

Believed to have been established by King Kavantissa in the 2nd century BC, the complex once served as a Buddhist education center for monks.

Today, it features the ruins of cave temples, stupas, Buddha statues, Image Houses, Relic Houses, and stone inscriptions.

The main stupa, situated at the top of the rock, offers panoramic views of the surrounding area.
