ThailandDescription and is it worth a visit
Lopburi is a very ancient city, according to some estimates it is already more than three and a half thousand years old. Of course, the historical period of its existence is full of ups and downs, and all sorts of events related to the defense of the city. Therefore, in those ancient times the city was defended with the help of fortress walls, some of which have survived to this day.
The preserved parts of the walls around the old town of Lopburi date back to the VI-XIII centuries, and the southern gate of Pratu Chai was built under King Narai the Great in the XVII century. To be honest, there is not much to look at them, and there is almost no information about these structures. But if you really want to touch the ancient history of the city, you can walk to the gates and fortress walls in the southern part of Lopburi.
