It was Ayutthaya’s most important temple and a royal temple without resident monks.
- Wat Mahathat - Continue to nearby Wat Mahathat, renowned for the Buddha’s head entwined with the roots of the Bodhi Tree. Known as the Monastery of the Great Relic, Wat Mahathat was one of the largest temple complexes on Ayutthaya island, serving as the religious center of the Royal Temple and housing Buddha’s relics. It was also the residence of the city’s supreme patriarch.
