Description: |
|
The ancient town of Suphan Buri was once located at Tambon Rua
Yai on the western bank of the Tha Chin River. An earth wall and
moat are all that remains, situated between Wat Pa Lelai and the
City Pillar Shrine.
On the western side, two sturdy walls
were built with a mound and a moat in between them. The inner
wall stretches 3.5 kilometers north to south, and has a width of
1 kilometer, reaching the bank of the river. The wall on the
eastern side has disappeared, as it was dismantled during the
reign of King Maha Chakkraphat. The Fine Arts Department rebuilt
the town gate on Malai Maen Road, in an area on which the
original town gate is believed to have once stood.
This site can be
viewed 24 hours a day, every day. |
