Pha That Luang is symbolic of both Buddhism and sovereignty

By far the most important ancient building in Laos, Pha That Luang is symbolic of both Buddhism and sovereignty. Legends tell us that Indian missionaries built the huge gilded and domed temple to house a piece of Buddha’s breastbone.

The main spire may look like a pyramid from a distance but is actually slightly curved.  It is 45 meters in height and is surrounded by 30 smaller stupas.
Pha That Luang is surrounded by a cloister roughly 85 meters long on each side and contains a large number of Lao and Khmer statues, including one of a meditating Jayavarman VII.  The area is also an art gallery, with fine displays of paintings by local artists.

Pha That Luang is a gold-covered large Buddhist stupa in the center of the capital of Laos, Vientiane. The building was designed in the third century, but the present form dates from 1930, as the stupa was repeatedly plundered and was to be her next renovation. It is currently viewed as one of the most important national symbol of Laos.
