 Description:   Wat Mahathat is a brick historic site, located in the middle in the old city, in the east of the old Nan river. Fine Arts Department registered this temple as a national historical site in 1935. Wat Mahathat has “Phra That Chedi” (a Chedi housing Buddha’s relics)in Lanka style. Inside has plenty of amulets which had been stealthy stolen. In front of the chedi stands a nine-room vihara. The back is Phra Ubosot with 2 layers of sema stones. Its pediment is covered with banyan root. The tree collapsed, so did the roof of the ubosot. Now only the high brick pedestals are left. The Fine Arts Department has renovated and dug this part in 1991. Around vihara area, 2 periods of construction were found; one is from Sukhothai period, the other is from Ayutthaya. Surrounding the area are small stupas, and large walls.
