| Vientiane's landmark war monument. Built between 1957-68, it was first called Anousavali (or "memory"), dedicated to Laotian soldiers who died in WWII, and the independence war from France. It was renamed Patuxay ("victory gate") by the Communist Pathet Lao after their overthrow of the government in 1975. |
