Description: |
|
Phetchaburi’s most well-known landmark, the locally known as
Khao Wang (Palace Hill), is located on the three peaks of
95-meter high verdant hill, in the city. It was built under the
royal command of King Rama IV to become his summer palace that
finished in 1860. The whole compound is comprised of royal
halls, palaces, temples and other buildings which were elegantly
constructed in a well-balanced of Thai, neoclassical Western and
Chinese architectural styles.
The east side is situated
by important temples for the royal family. The highest peak is
home of WatPhraKaew that was meant to be as important as
WatPhraKaew at The Grand Palace in Bangkok. The central peak is
where Phra That JomPetch situates. The 40-meters-tall white
pagoda is installed the Buddha's relics. It is believed if
visitors worship the pagoda with the purest mind, they will be
known widely like the 360 degree views on the top. The old
palaces on the west have been transformed into museums displayed
royal amenities which were used by the King Rama IV and the King
Rama V. |
