When visiting Lampang, don't forget to pay your respects at the sacred wooden city pillar, believed to have been constructed over a hundred years ago. The first pillar was erected around the year 1857, followed by a second in 1873 and a third in 1886. Later, in 1897, the provincial hall was built, and the city pillar was relocated to the front of the hall. In 1968, a mondop was erected to enshrine all three city pillars. Today, the city pillar shrine houses ancient city pillars gathered over centuries from various locations and is also home to the revered Phra Buddha Dam, a sacred statue highly respected by the people of Lampang. The shrine is open daily from 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
