Description: |

WatAmphawanChetiyaram is located near King Rama II Memorial Park
and belongs to the Bang Chang family. It was commissioned by the
mother of Queen Amarintharamat, who married King Rama I, and she
once lived behind this beautiful temple. It is believed that the
area where the Prang (or spire) is standing is the birthplace of
King Rama II. WatAmphawanChetiyaram was renovated several
times by Kings Rama III, IV, and V. At present, it is a royal
temple of the second class. The Ubosot (ordination hall) and
permanent structures within the temple were mostly created in
the early Rattanakosin style of art and architecture. In
addition, King Rama II is also memorialized here.
