“Sukhothai City Pillar Shrine This ancient site is located next to the northern moat of Wat Mahathat.”

City Pillar Shrine This ancient site is located next to the northern moat of Wat Mahathat. It is a small building raised on a high platform. There is a square layout. At the top there is a round pillar made of laterite. The roof is shingled clay tiles. No evidence was found in the inscriptions mentioning the City Pillar. In addition, the concept of city pillars in the Sukhothai period did not appear at all. But the villagers have called this place the City Court since 1907. There are laterite pillars located at four corners, each of which are stacked with 2 pillars. In the middle there is a hole that is believed to be a hole in which visions are buried. In this hole there is a flat stone. There are fuzzy patterns. Maybe it's the city sheet. His assumptions like this became the belief that this place was really the City Pillar Shrine.
