The memorial monument of Patuxay is perhaps the most prominent landmark in the city. It was constructed in its prominent position on Lanexang Avenue in 1958. While the architecture was inspired by the Arc de Triomphe in Paris the design incorporates typical Lao motifs including “Kinnari”, a mythical bird woman.
Energetic visitors can climb to the top of the monument. Which reveals an excellent panoramic view of the city. The monument is open daily from 08:00H to 17:00H
