Shwedagon Pagoda

The Shwedagon Pagoda is a gilded stupa located in Yangon, Myanmar, and is considered the most sacred Buddhist pagoda in the country as it contains relics of the four previous Buddhas of the present kalpa. According to legend, the pagoda was constructed more than 2,500 years ago and has been rebuilt and restored several times over the centuries, with the current structure standing 112 meters tall and dominating the Yangon skyline. The pagoda has a long and complex history, with the first mention of it in the royal chronicles dating back to 1362/63 CE, and has been affected by a series of earthquakes over the centuries, with the most significant damage occurring in 1768, but has been restored to its current height of 99 meters.learn more on wikipedia
