Wat Sala Pun, or the Monastery of the Pavilion of Lime, is an active monastery located off the city island in the northwestern area of Ayutthaya, in the Tha Wasukri Sub-district. It is situated on the north bank of Khlong Mueang (1). Wat Phanom Yong and Wat Phrom Niwat lie in its vicinity.
In situ are the classic monastic buildings. The ordination hall and chedi stand in a northwest-southeast alignment. A wall surrounds the structures. The ubosot in the late Ayutthaya style had a three-tiered roof and two porches. The elevated front porch has three entries, two small ones and, in the middle, a large one. The rear porch has two entrances. In between the doors stands a chapel with rather west-European features. Two columns support the roof above the porches. The hall has three rectangular windows on the longest sides. Behind the hall stands a bell-shaped chedi surrounded by a low inner wall.
Within the walls surrounding the ubosot and chedi stands a restored library building (Ho Trai) in which the Buddhist scriptures were kept with well-preserved stucco in a flower pattern on its pediment.
