In its day, Wat Chedi Luang must have been the most impressive temple in Chiang Mai. Built about 600 years ago, the huge chedi which gave the temple its name must have soared high above the surrounding city. However, the chedi of Wat Chedi Luang was mostly destroyed by an earthquake in the 17th century, giving the ruin its distinct romantic look that it has nowadays. Wat Chedi Luang is on Prapokklao Road which runs roughly through the north-south center line of the old city, from Changpuak Gate to Chaing Mai Gate. The temple is just a short walk south of the intersection with the main east-west Ratchadamnoen Road.
