1662 TH - The Ancient Town of Si Thep and its Associated Dvaravati Monuments (2023)

 The Ancient Town of Si Thep and its Associated Dvaravati Monuments

This is a serial property of three component parts: a distinctive twin-town site, featuring an Inner and Outer Town surrounded by moats; the massive Khao Klang Nok ancient monument; and the Khao Thamorrat Cave ancient monument. Together these sites represent the architecture, artistic traditions and religious diversity of the Dvaravati Empire that thrived in Central Thailand from the 6th to the 10th centuries, demonstrating the influences from India. The local adaptation of these traditions resulted in a distinctive artistic tradition known as the Si Thep School of Art which later influenced other civilizations in Southeast Asia.

西贴古镇及相关陀罗钵地古迹

这个系列遗产由3部分组成：独具特色的双城遗址（护城河环绕内外城）、规模宏大的考巴生（Khao Klang Nok），以及考塔莫拉洞穴（Khao Thamorrat Cave）。陀罗钵地帝国于6-10世纪在泰国中部蓬勃发展，这些遗址共同展现了其建筑、艺术传统、宗教多样性，也反映了印度对它的影响。这些传统在当地人的改造下发展成独特的艺术传统，即后来影响东南亚其他文明的西贴（Si Thep）艺术流派。
