Wat Phra Si Sanphet was the holiest temple on the site of the old Royal Palace in Thailand's ancient capital of Ayutthaya until the city was completely destroyed by the Burmese in 1767, during the Burmese–Siamese War. It was the most beautiful temple in the capital and it served as a model for Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok. In 1991 the Historic city of Ayutthaya was added to the Unesco World Heritage List. Its remains, characterized by the prang (reliquary towers) and gigantic monasteries, give an idea of its past splendour.
