Bagan   ( Pagan )
in
Myanmar   ( Burma )

Bagan has about 2000 buildings remaining from 1057-1287 a.d. The condition of them varies widely, from "like new" -to crumbling brick piles to rebuilt almost from scratch -to cheaply patched after the earthquake of 1975.
Here are pictures of some of the most interesting.
