Wat Mahathat temple, originally built in 1374. The site was destroyed by the Burmese invasion in 1767, when several heads of Buddha statues were looped off as an act of desecration. The ruins were left and the over grown nature took over, entwining one of the severed Buddha heads with the roots of a Banyan tree. Just one of the incredibly nice results of the fusion of nature, ruins and time.
