美榔雙塔

海南澄邁

古稱買榔塔。位於海南省澄邁縣金江鎮。建於元代(1271~1368)。據明代(1368~1644)《正德瓊台志》記載,是元代鄉人陳道敘為紀念兩個學佛的女兒而建造,故又稱姊妹塔。一九九六年列為中國「全國重點文物保護單位」。
 雙塔相距20公尺,通體用當地馬鞍山火山石建造。因塔建於池水中,故台基高大,並以懸臂梁連接台基頂面,台基及懸臂梁周設護欄。姊塔為六角六層仿木構樓閣式塔,坐東南向西北,通高13.06公尺,台基高4.41公尺,周長31.4公尺。塔基雙層。塔身第一至三層每層檐下有十二根柱;自第四層起,各層外壁隱出半圓倚柱。塔身上飾有供養人雕像。
 妹塔為方形七層仿木結構樓閣式塔,坐東向西,通高13.67公尺,台基高4.46公尺,周長29.64公尺。塔基為須彌座,四面有佛教題材及各種動物浮雕,四角雕力士承托塔身。仰蓮剎座上承七層相輪和剎頂寶珠。雙塔形制古樸,對研究海南的宋(960~1279)、元佛教建築藝術提供了寶貴的實物資料。
