Launggyet (Burmese: လောင်းကြက်မြို့ [láʊɰ̃ ɡjɛʔ mjo̰]) is a former capital of the Launggyet Dynasty of Arakan from 1237/1251 to 1430. It is also last capital of Laymro Kingdom. The former capital site is located a few miles northwest of Mrauk U, Rakhine State, Myanmar. The Arakanese chronicle Rakhine Razawin Thit gives the foundation date as 22 April 1251.[a] Some Arakanese chronicles give the foundation date as 1237 CE.[1]
Following the death of King Nganalon, his son Prince Alawmaphyu succeeded him in 1250. He reigned for 1 year at the capital of Nyeinzara Toungoo, at which point he realized that it was time for foundation of a new city.
