Wat Mahathat Worawihan

Wat Mahathat Worawihan is a third-class royal temple of the Worawihan type. There is no firm evidence of when it was founded; some believe it dates from the Dvaravati–Sukhothai period because many Dvaravati-era bricks have been dug up here. It was raised to royal-temple status under King Rama VI in 1916.

Its five-spired prang is Khmer in shape with a laterite base, 55 m from base to finial and 120 m around the base. It enshrines Buddha relics and is surrounded by a cloister.

The main vihara (Phra Wihan Luang) was built in the late Ayutthaya period, in the reign of King Borommakot. Its walls are covered with murals of Jataka tales and assembled deities, and its pediment carries stucco of Narayana riding Garuda gripping nagas.

The Amphon Bunprakhong pavilion serves as the temple museum, displaying blue-and-white porcelain, Buddha images and rare valuables to visitors.
