La città di Bagan (birmano: ပုဂံ) precedentemente conosciuta come Pagan formalmente nominata Arimaddanapura (la città del frantoio nemico) ed anche conosciuta come Tambadipa (la terra del rame) o Tassadessa (la terra secca), fu la vecchia capitale di parecchi regni antichi in Birmania. È situata nelle pianure centrali asciutte del paese, sulla riva orientale del fiume Irrawaddy, 145 chilometri a sud-ovest di Mandalay. L'UNESCO ha tentato senza successo di nominare Bagan come sede di patrimonio mondiale. La giunta militare (SPDC), attualmente al potere in Birmania, ha ristrutturato le opere d'arte antiche, templi e gli edifici, non tenendo conto degli stili architettonici originali, usando materiali moderni incompatibili esteticamente ai materiali edilizi originali. Nel 2019, Bagan è stato inserito nella lista dei Patrimoni dell'umanità dell'UNESCO.
