The national shrine depicted in the national coat of arms is one of the most important Buddhist pilgrimage sites in the country.
According to tradition, missionaries of the Indian emperor Ashoka, who stayed here in the 3rd century BC, are said to have erected a reliquary for a splinter of bone from the sternum of Buddha.
The sacred stupa of That Luang was built in 1566 on Siamese models of the Sukhothai era, a few years after King Setthathirath moved the capital from Luang Prabang to Vieng Chan.
