16 Stupa of the Great Lotus at Wat Visounnarath in Luang Prabang, Laos

This Stupa of the Great Lotus called That Makmo is part of the oldest temple in Luang Prabang. Wat Visounnarath was built during the reign of King Wisunarat in 1513 but mostly destroyed by the Chinese in 1887. Although the sim was reconstructed a few years later, this domed stupa with an usnisa crown was not rebuilt until 1932. It contained many Buddhist relics and statues. Some of them are displayed here at Wat Wisunalat while others are exhibited at the National Palace Museum.
