Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Historical capital district in Ayutthaya province, Thailand.
The district spans 130.6 square kilometers across a fertile plain formed by the convergence of three rivers: Chao Phraya, Pa Sak, and Lopburi.
Established in 1897 as Rop Krung district, the area underwent name changes to Krung Kao in 1917 before receiving its current designation in 1957.
The district contains numerous Buddhist temples and ancient structures reflecting Thai architectural traditions from the 14th to 18th centuries.
The district divides into 21 sub-districts with a population density of 1,053 inhabitants per square kilometer and operates under UTC+7 time zone.
Three major rivers surround the district, creating an island that housed the former capital of the Kingdom of Siam for 417 years.
