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. |
