The Mingun Pahtodawgyi, is a monumental incompleted stupa in Mingun. The ruins are the remains of a massive construction project begun in 1790 which was intentionally left unfinished. By the time the construction project was abandoned, the pagoda had attained a height of 50 meters, one third of the intended height. An earthquake on the 23rd of March 1839 caused huge cracks to appear on the face of the remaining structure.
