Dhammayan Gyi TempleAn orange-hued Buddhist temple that rises from the ground like a pyramid.

There are four entrances to the temple in total, each one home to a giant Buddha image. It is one of the historically and architecturally important places in this area.
Shwegu Gyi PhayaThe Shwegugyi temple and the nearby ruins of the former royal palace form an interesting juxtaposition of Bagan sites. According to a contemporary Pali inscription on stone slabs in the building the temple was built in 7 1/2 months in 1131 AD under orders from King Sithu I. The temple is reflective of a slow change in architectural style to a lighter, airier and more decorated form with a stress on the vertical and reminds one of the transitions between the Romanesque and Gothic styles in Europe
Thatbyinnyu PhayaThatbyinnyu Phaya was one of King Sithu I's finest legacies to the Bagan region. Although there are no contemporary inscriptions that identify him as the builder, reliable chronicles from the 14th century affirm his role in its construction. It is Bagan's tallest temple at almost 200 ft and represents a transition from the Mon period to a new architectural style. It was one of the famous temples in this area.
Maha Bodhi PhayaAmongst over 2000 surviving monuments in Bagan, this Pagoda is the one which is closely identical with the Maha Bodhi Pagoda at Bodhgaya in India.

With the exception of slight differ¬ences in position, the seven sacred places are similar to those at Bodhgaya.
