Vientiane is the capital of Laos, lies on the Mekong River and has a population of approximately 1.1 million. Founded in the 13th century, the city developed into an important commercial and administrative center under the Lan Xang Kingdom. In the 18th century it was destroyed by Siamese invasions, but under French colonial rule beginning in 1893, it experienced a resurgence as an administrative center. Today, Vientiane is known for its Buddhist temples, such as Pha That Luang, which is considered a national symbol, as well as for its colonial architecture and Laotian tradition. Of course, you’ll also find urban art in the streets, especially in the neighborhoods around the Mekong and near the universities. Here is a collection of streetart, characters and murals, check out as well the individual page especially for graffiti pieces and writing. The following photos were taken by traveller and streetart lover MAZZANTI and other contributors.
