It stands out for its Sinhalese-style stupa in the shape of a watermelon. There’s not many of these in the city. It is also the oldest temple in the city. Definitely a must-visit for history and architecture buffs.

Le Vat Visounnarat & le That Makmo.
Construit en 1513 le Vat Visounnarat serait l'un des temples les plus anciens de Luang Phabang s'il n'avait été entièrement brûlé par les troupes du Pavillon Noir (Hos). Aujourd'hui le temple est reconstruit, mais ne ressemble guère à l'original, car l'ancien devait être entièrement en bois. Le temple conserve encore une très belle collection de Bouddhas de toutes les époques. Dans l'enceinte du temple se dresse un imposant stupa, le that Pathum, plus communément appelé That Makmo (" stupa pastèque ") en raison de sa forme ronde. Il fut reconstruit en 1895 après avoir été détruit et pillé par les Hos qui trouvèrent en son sein des petits bouddhas en métaux précieux.
Le Vat Visounnarat (1503 et complètement refait en 1898)(Nom : Le monastère de l’éclair du roi Vixun)

Le That Makmo (1504 et rénové en 1898)(Nom : Le stupa du Vénérable Lotus. Son surnom est le stupa de la pastèque)

Wat Visounnarat & That Makmo.
Built in 1513 Wat Visounnarat would be one of the oldest temples of Luang Phabang if he had been burned by the troops of Black Flag (Hos). Today the temple is rebuilt, but bears little resemblance to the original, because the former was to be entirely of wood. The temple still retains a great collection of Buddhas of all times. Inside the temple stands an imposing stupa, Pathum that, more commonly referred That Makmo ("watermelon stupa") because of its round shape. It was rebuilt in 1895 after being destroyed and looted by the Hos who found in it small Buddhas in precious metals.
