Wat Xiengthong is defined by its dramatic, multi-tiered roof that sweeps low toward the ground, a signature of the Luang Prabang style. Founded in fifteen sixty by King Setthathirath, this temple occupies the northern tip of the peninsula where the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers meet. For centuries, it functioned as a site for royal coronations and state ceremonies under the patronage of the Lao monarchy.
