Legend has it that a seven-headed water serpent – a ‘Naga’ lived here to protect the stupa that was once covered in pure gold. During the Siamese-Laotian war in the 1820s, the gold was pillaged and taken to Siam, now Thailand, leaving the legacy that is the Black Stupa (That Dam) today.

Patuxai (Lao: ປະຕູໄຊ, [pátǔː sáj] "Gate of Victory", French also Monument des Morts) is a triumphal arch in the Laotian capital, Vientiane. The 49-meter-high monument stands at the end of Xang Avenue. Patuxai was built in the 1960s as a "Monument to the Heroes of the Royal Army", i.e., for Laos' independence from France (1949). When the Pathet Lao seized power in 1975, the massive concrete structure was nameless for 20 years. It was generally known simply as Anousavali (Monument). On the 20th anniversary of the seizure of power in 1995, the Arch of Triumph was rededicated "To the Heroes of August 23, 1975" (the day the monarch seized power in Vientiane). Confectionery turrets and sculptures from Indian mythology adorn the four-arched concrete structure. The numbers four and seven magically recur in the dimensions of the structure: the four pillars measure 4 × 4 meters, and the entire structure is 7 × 7 meters high. The monumental structure remains unfinished to this day, although the Laotian government has repeatedly approved new funds. Cement that the US had originally intended for the construction of an airfield for the Vietnam War was used here. In addition, building materials were diverted into other canals and used in villas and residential buildings. Currently, the building is primarily of interest to tourists. For a fee, visitors can climb the upper platforms, which offer a panoramic view of the city. The interior floors house numerous tourist shops. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patuxai
