The National Gallery) - The National Gallery was originally called Rong Kasap Sitthikan. King Rama V graciously ordered to build a new mint factory instead of the old one which was situated on the Grand Palace grounds, in order to produce coins. This location of the new mint factory was the former Palace of Phraratchawang Bowonsathan Mongkhon Familly. The construction was completed in 1902. It was a beautiful building, built from bricks like the buildings in Europe. The machine used for the fabrication of the coins was ordered from Europe, and was very modern at that time. Its capacity was around 80,000-100,000 coins a day. The cost of construction including the machine was around 800,000 baht. Consequently, when the mint factory was moved to Pradiphat Road, the Ministry of Finance gave the old building of Rong Kasap Sitthikan to the Fine Arts Department. The building was renovated and it was used for various art exhibitions and is called the National Gallery. Somdet Phrathep Pharat Ratchasuda Sayam Dorommaratoha Kumari presided at the inauguration ceremony on August 3, 1977

Wat Suthat Thepwararam Ratchaworamahawiharn) - King Rama I founded the temple at the central area of the city at that time, and built the sizable wiharn as the wiharn of Wat Phanan Choeng in Ayutthaya. Then the Sukhothai style bronze Buddha image, brought from Wat Mahathat in Sukhothai, was installed inside the wiharn. The image was called Phra Toh or Phra Yai means Big Buddha image. The wiharn (main hall) was completed in the reign of King Rama III. Then the ubosot (ordination hall) was built along with the principal Buddha image. The temple was then named Wat Suthat Thepwararam. Later, King Rama IV named the principal image inside the wiharn Phra Phuttha Srisakkayamuni and the principal image inside the ubosot Phra Phuttha Trilokachet.
