The Metal Palace or Loha Prasat, โลหะปราสาท, is located adjacent to Wat
Ratchanatdaram. The design is based on an old style Buddhist structure in
Sri Lanka. It was begun in the early 19th century by King Rama III but
was only recently completed. The prasat is essentially five
concentric towers with the outer, middle and inner towers capped with cast
iron spires (hence the name "Metal Palace"). The two un-capped towers
are open walkways lined with shrines. Wikimapia location |
