Entrance gate at Pha That Luang Vientiane Laos

---

Pha That Luang or 'Great Stupa' is a gold-covered large Buddhist stupa in the center of Vientiane, Laos. Since its initial establishment suggested to be in the 3rd century, the stupa has undergone several reconstructions until the 1930s due to foreign invasions to the area. It is generally regarded as the most important national monument in Laos and a national symbol.
