Nyatapola Temple

1702 · 18th century

Nyatapola is a five-storeyed pagoda temple in Taumadhi Square, Bhaktapur, in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal. Built by King Bhupatindra Malla in 1702, it stands about 30 metres high on a five-tiered plinth flanked by pairs of guardian figures, and is the tallest temple in the valley. It survived the earthquakes of 1934 and 2015 with little damage.
