The ancient city of Inwa is in the south of Mandalay. That is where the famous tourist attraction, the Bagaya Monastery, is located. During the warring states period in the mid-14th century, the Kingdom of Ava occupied the territories of Myinsaing and Pinya Kingdoms, and Sagaing Kingdom and established the capital city in Inwa where palaces and temples were built. With the development of Inwa city, the construction of the Bagaya Monastery was completed in 1593.
