Wat Ratchaburana

Wat Ratchaburana – The Great Prang of Ayutthaya

Wat Ratchaburana, located in the Ayutthaya Historical Park, is one of the most significant temples of the ancient capital. Built in the 15th century, it is best known for its towering central prang, regarded as one of the finest in Ayutthaya. The temple stands on the city’s historic island, immediately north of Wat Mahathat. Its elegant prang, detailed stucco work, and quiet ruins capture the artistic and spiritual essence of Ayutthaya – making it a powerful subject for photography.
