Remains of a palace complex lies at the village of Galabedde (Galebedda), 10.5 km from Monaragala on the Pottuvil road. This includes an interesting sluice gate ponds, moats, ramparts and the remains of a palace thought be of a local princess Sugala Devi dating from the 12th century A.D.

The pool of the princess in the palace garden is one of the masterpieces of ancient Sinhala architecture. The pool is made out of solid rock with four water inlets from four sides. The water flows in the pond through the mouth of the mythical creature, ‘Makara’.

A building of a palace surrounded by a bulwark and a moat is seen. It is believed to be a residual palace of a provincial governor. The palace is similar to those found in Polonnaruwa and Panduvasnuvara but looks smaller in size. The ruins of the palace comprises a fair number of stone columns and foundations. The name Udundora had been used to denote it in the past. The remnants of an ancient dagoba and an image house is found in the precincts.

The Galabedda pond is located near the 28th mile post. It being a rock formation is known as Kellanne Vala. It could be a part of the palace complex as well. Water flows into the pond through the Makara mouths fixed on the four cardinal directions. The floor of the pond is made of stone slabs and stone conduits are available for the water to enter and exit the pond. Near the pond are a vestibule and a urinal. The whole complex is bounded by a parapet.
