The
Walls of the Old City
The
City Walls are situated in the center of Sukhothai Historical
Park in Muang Kao District. Bound by earthen ramparts, the
north and south walls are 2,000 m long, while the east and
west walls are each 1,600 m long. The walls contain four major
gates named Sanluang in the north, Kamphaenghak in the east,
Or in the west and Namo in the south. At these gates King
Ramkhamhaeng provided a bell by which his citizens could call
upon him to settle their disputes and dispense justice.
