Wat Nakhon Kosa

Though it's one of Lopburi's minor ruins, it's worth coming to see the base of what was once a huge stupa. It was built in the Dvaravati period, probably in the 12th century. The smaller stupa and collapsed wí·hăhn (assembly hall) were added in the Khmer and Ayuthaya eras, respectively.

A collection of damaged Buddha images are displayed out the back.
