The City Pillar Shrine (San Lak Mueng) is a shrine dedicated to a city's founding and therefore revered by local people. In many cases it is found in the city it relates to but the Old City of Phichit lies some way to the west of the modern city. In 1977 the new shrine was built at a cave called Tham Chalawan in the historical park. Statues depict characters from the well-known folk tale 'Krai Thong'.
