Phra That Ming Muang, also known as Phra Chedi Ming Muang, is an ancient Lanna-style stupa that was a central feature of the former Wat Ming Muang, one of two historic temples merged to become Wat Phra Bat Ming Muang Worawihan. According to local legend, the rulers of Phrae established the temple and the stupa within their royal gardens to serve as a symbol of the city center (the city's navel). The stupa reflects exquisite local Phrae craftsmanship and enshrines holy relics of the Buddha. The site is part of a significant religious complex that includes a replica of the Buddha's footprint and a museum housing the priceless "Silk-embroidered Scriptures".
