Bagan is the current name of the historic capital city of Pagan, the first Burmese empire, which flourished from the mid-eleventh to the late-thirteenth centuries, and at its peak ruled over vast areas of modern Myanmar and neighbouring countries. As Bagan expanded and became richer, both within its city walls and outside, successive rulers commissioned hundreds of construction projects which resulted in the most unique collection of Buddhist architecture in Southeast Asia, now recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
