Wat Phu

Japanese: ワット・プー(英語表記)Wat Phu
Wat Phu
An ancient Hindu temple in Champasak Province in southern Laos. The temple stretches from the foothills to the middle of Mount Bassac, 4 km from the right bank of the Mekong River. Just before the temple, 1.5 km from the riverbank, are the remains of a four-tiered square capital city, from which a stone monument dating back to the 5th century has been excavated. This historical material suggests that the region was conquered by the Champa Kingdom or that a Cham kingdom existed. The inner sanctum of Wat Phu is thought to be the earliest structure and follows the Cham style.

ラオス南部のチャンパサック州にある古代ヒンドゥー寺院遺跡。寺院はメコン川右岸から4km離れたバサック山の山ろくから中腹まで続いている。寺院の手前,河岸より1.5km先へは4重の方形からなる都城跡がのび,その中から5世紀ごろの石碑が出土しており,この史料によりチャンパ王国によるこの地方の征服ないしチャム族系王国の存在が推考される。ワット・プーの奥の院は最も初期の建造物と考えられ,チャム様式に従っている。
