Description: |
|
Royal Handwriting Monument, sometimes called “Royal Handwriting
Historical Site”, is located at Lai Phrahat Si Mahapo Park,
under the supervision of Muang Kao Municipality, and Muang Kao
Sub-District Administrative Organization. The monument preserves
the handwriting of King Rama V (King Chulachomklao) when he
visited Prachinburi in 1908. It was the inscription on a
laterite stone, which was the ancient remain of Hindu temple in
Lop Buri period. The temple was assumed to be in the same period
as Muang Si Mahosot, and Muang Amorn Thevee. It was supposed
that the Royal Handwriting Historical Site is around B.E. 12-13.
Royal Handwriting Monument has been registered as the
national historical site in 1981. It is believed that the
monument is the debris, which only its laterite base has been
left until nowadays. Other parts were already damaged. In 1914,
a mondop was built to cover the Royal Handwriting Historical
Site. However, it was later dilapidated. In 1930, a new mondop
was therefore built with ferro –concrete to cover the old one.
The architectural style consists of stucco patterns of garuda,
and flowers, looking apparently terrific. Inside the monument
enshrines the portrait of King Rama V, and his signature
inscribed on stone slab.
It is open for general visitors. For more information, please
