Prasat Ku Santarat is a well-preserved laterite arogyasala (hospital) in current day Ban Po Thong and near the site of an ancient city site – Muang Nakhon Champa Si. It was completed in the period 1157-1207.
The arogyasala has an east-facing central shrine, an enclosing wall and the ‘standard’ features found in constructions of the era – entrance hall, ‘library’, eastern gopura and a baray.
The Prasat is in excellent condition, due mainly to extensive Fine Arts Department restoration.
