This lies about 1,500 metres north of Wat Mahathat
and was originally surrounded by a moat. A square mondop which is the
main sanctuary, contains a monumental stucco-over-brick Buddha image in
the attitude of Subduing Mara called “Phra Achana.” which is 11.30
meters width.
The mondop is 32 metres square and 15 metres high, and the walls are 3
metres thick. There is a passageway in the left inner wall itself
which leads to the above crossbeam. On the ceiling of the passageway
are more than fifty engraved slate slabs illustrating Jataka scenes.
