Description: |
|
Built in 1783 to defend against potential naval invasions and
named for the mythical Mt Meru (Phra Sumen in Thai) of
Hindu-Buddhist cosmology, the octagonal brick-and-stucco bunker
was one of 14 city watchtowers that punctuated the old city wall
alongside Khlong Rop Krung. Apart from Mahakan Fort, this is the
only one still standing. Alongside the fort and fronting the
river is a small, grassy park with an open-air pavilion, river
views, cool breezes. |
