Portuguese Settlement & San Petro Dominican Church - Ayutthaya Thailand 2024
The Portuguese Settlement in Ayutthaya was built to spread Christian ideals and to be the community center. Presently, there are still remains of ruins of the San Petro Church, known as St. Dominic's Church in the Ayutthaya period.
It was the first Dominican church built in Thailand in 1540, located almost in the center of the Portuguese settlement.
The area is about 2,400 square meters, along the east to west facing the Chao Phraya River.
The museum is divided into three sections; the front is the Dominican Catholic cemetery. The central section is used for religious ceremonies and as a cemetery for priests. The back and the sides are for residence.
Important antiquities are excavated, namely, human skeletons, tobacco pipes, coins, pottery, gem bracelets and items used in religious rituals such as crosses, coins of religious icons and rosary beads.
There are over 254 human skeletons, orderly buried on the inside and outside the building.
The ruins are down to the ground level. The highlight is the reconstructed church building with data plates in English detailing the historic community. Admission is free and an out of the way stop for history lovers. Combining it with the other foreign settlements would make for a nice half day activity. Admission is free.
