Bagan: the legendary city with golden roofs

Burma (Myanmar) captivates travelers with its rich history, spiritual heritage and warm hospitality. At its heart lies Bagan, the legendary land of golden roofs, once capital of the first Burman empire.

Comparable to Angkor, this vast Buddhist archaeological site stretches over 40 km² and contains more than 2,000 temples, pagodas and stupas, built between the 11th and 13th centuries. It is the largest concentration of Buddhist monuments in the world, reflecting Sri Lankan, Indian, Tibetan, Mon and Burman influences.

Among Bagan’s most iconic landmarks are the towering Thatbyinnyu Temple, the sacred Shwezigon Pagoda, and the magnificent Ananda Temple, renowned for its harmony and Indian-inspired architecture. Other treasures include the fresco-filled Gubyaukgyi Temple and the finely decorated Htilominlo Temple.

Bagan remains one of Southeast Asia’s most breathtaking spiritual landscapes, where history, faith and architecture merge in a timeless setting.
