Temple Wat Mai Suwannaphumaham?
Just 10 options: you understand binary, or you don't.

Quote: "adanieluy"​Temple Wat Mai Suwannaphumaham?
​Yep. And try to say that 5 times fast.
Well, now my clues:

Was built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of a very important date of the country, and the name is related to that fact.

Also was built to organize something for the first time in the world, that now is a very important event worldwide.

The main world organization related to this building already is 100 years old.

It's the only building declared as world monument of the activity.

The country achieved 2 times the top place in these events, but their symbols show 4 stars, and is recognized to have reached it twice before the first official event.

Yeah, I made it a bit confusing, but when you know the answer will see the clues make sense.

Bonus clue: there is other similar activity using the same name, and they give the first one other different name, but in fact the first one is the most accurate.

I guess it is my turn now.

So here it is, maybe a bit cryptic history of the place.

Small place at start,
Mongols tore it apart,
Then it rose up and made "bags",
Just to be torn down by Turkish flags.

Sorry, I love riddles. ;) I have few advices to help you if needed.

​Montenegro?
Bulgaria?
Romania?
Yes, No, No.
Catalogue administrator
-Have U seen Montenegro ?
-No, I haven't seen anybody going up.:.

Anyway ... a small place at start ? where every place in rather small over there :°
Even Kotor, razed by the Mongol hordes and which is nowaday submerged by myriads of glowing tourists landing in stamping cohorts from their huge all-inclusive multi-deck galleys, and such undisciplined barbarian legions are looting bars and ice cream vendors :8D
Referee of south atlantic islands
No, I was not in Montenegro, but I would love to visit.

Rose up is equivalent of "been rebuilt".
It is not Kotor, because those tourists are slowly destroying it, not Ottoman Turks, which already succeded in "my" place.

And you should probably note the "bags". Maybe try different language, to make the word show its true meaning.
