A
Wat Nakhon Kosa
Just along from the train station is Wat Nakhon Kosa. Built in the 12th century it may have originally been a Hindu shrine. The main chedi was built during the Dvaravati period, while the wí·hǎhn was added later by King Narai. To the rear is a collection of headless Buddha images.

Wat Sao Thong Thong
Northwest of the palace centre, Wat Sao Thong Thong is remarkable for its unusual Gothic-style windows, which were added by King Narai so it could be used as a Christian chapel.

Prang Khaek
The oldest monument in Lopburi, this 11th-century tower is on a triangular piece of land bordered by Th Wichayen to the north. The structure has Khmer-style brickwork and was possibly once a temple to the Hindu god Shiva.
