Description: |
|
Located on Vichayen Road, approximately 200 meters from the
railway station, Phra Prang Sam Yot is Lop Buri’s best known
landmark and provincial symbol. A former Hindu shrine built in
the 13th century in the classic Bayon style of Khmer
architecture, the compound comprises three Prangs (towers)
linked by corridors. The three laterite and sandstone spires,
each decorated with classic stucco, are believed to have
originally represented the Hindu Trimurti; Brahma (the Creator),
Vishnu (the Preserver) and Shiva (the Destroyer).
During
the reign of King Narai, the shrine was converted into a
Buddhist temple and a brick hall was built in the east to house
a grand U Thong-style Buddha image. Buddha images were later
added to the two Prangs.
The temple is located on a mound
on the west side of the railway, near San PhraKan, another
shrine.
The temple is open from 6.00 am-6.00 pm from Wednesdays-Sundays.
Admission is 30 baht. |
