Mingun Pagoda

明宮塔

緬甸曼德勒

譯名為Mingun Pagoda,又稱莊嚴之塔。位於緬甸曼德勒(Mandalay)北方7公里處。由緬甸末代貢榜王朝(Konbaung,1752〜1885)第二任國王孟雲王(Bodawpaya,1782~1819在位)於一七九○年開始興建。孟雲王將首都由上緬甸南移至阿瑪拉普拉(Amarapura),並在此區建立塔廟,明宮塔為計畫中最宏偉的建築。興建之初,當時英國的使節曾目睹國王將佛舍利迎奉入基座的祕室內。建塔工程於一八一九年因國王駕崩而停工,理想中高逾152公尺的龐大建築只完成了三分之一。一八三八年地震將該塔四周震裂。
 該塔占地面積41.86平方公尺,現高50公尺,矗立於一方形基座上,四面鑿門。塔內發現釉陶板數百片,刻有佛本生故事、佛經結集、高僧賢者像及境內的重要寺院圖等。該塔東側的兩座大理石獅像高約29公尺,為孟雲王於一七九三年下令雕刻。塔北現存一口大鐘,一八○八年鑄,重90.52公噸,高6.1公尺,鐘口圓周15.5公尺,為緬甸最大的鐘。
