Patuxay Monument
The Arc de Triomphe of Vientiane OR Patuxay, meaning “Victory Gate,” is one of Vientiane’s most iconic landmarks.
Built in the 1960s to honor those who fought for Laos’ independence, this grand monument blends traditional Lao motifs with French colonial architecture — often compared to Paris’ Arc de Triomphe, but with a unique local spirit.
Climb to the top for panoramic views over the capital city, explore intricate carvings and lotus flower patterns, and enjoy the peaceful fountains surrounding the park. Patuxay is not just a monument — it’s a proud symbol of Lao resilience, culture, and hope for the future.
