Bagan was the capital city of the Pagan Kingdom from 1044 until 1297, home to over 2,500 Buddhist stupas, temples, and UNESCO world heritage monuments.
Today the area is home to more than 2,500 Buddhist stupas, temples and monasteries – the largest and densest concentration of Buddhist monuments in the world – but at the kingdom's height there were over 10,000.
Bagan is the premier cultural and tourist destination in Myanmar, located on the east bank of the Ayeyarwaddy River, featuring majestic brick architecture, lacquerware crafts, and stunning sunsets.
