Vientiane: The new City Pillar Shrine.

Описание к видео Vientiane: The new City Pillar Shrine.

Here I take a look around the recently completed City Pillar Shrine.

The shrine is located on Setthathirath Road in the district of Sisattanek, adjacent to Wat Simuang. The site chosen for the shrine was significant as it was here that over a period of years, some 473 stones were unearthed. These stone fragments, Baysema, date back to the 4th/5th century and are believed to be the remnants of the original city shrine built in 1540 during the reign of Chao Phothisarath (1520-1550).
