BAGAN (Pagan)

One of the most fabulous archaeological site of the world.

Built in the 9° century to the confluence of the Chin Dwin with the Irrawaddy, the kingdom of Bagan has his splendor in the 11th and the 13th century in symbiosis with the Buddhism Therawada. Hundreds of buildings, all built in red brick, remains of the biggest city of the world in the 11th and the 12th century. 

Built of the King founder of the nation, Anaratha, the history of Bagan is confused with the history of the Buddhism. How much does it remain of the pagodas and of the temples in Bagan? The archaeologists answer 2.219 on 42 Kmqs.

Try to imagine the greatness of the site in the 11th century, pagodas covered of gold, stately temples tall more than 50 mt., religious fervor as the Buddhism has never known… ..The threatens of an invasion from China from Kublai Khan threw in the panic the last powerful King of Bagan.It is not even known with certainty if the Tartars have really ransacked Bagan or they simply appropriated of a city already abandoned.

The people go to Bagan not only to visit the ancient Temples but also to try the feelings of an exceptional atmosphere of a place that wrote one of the most prestigious pages of the history of the humanity.
