Vinh Citadel was built in 1804 under the Gia Long Dynasty and was built of earth. It was not until the 12th year of Minh Mang (1831) that it was built of stone. The citadel was built in a hexagonal shape with a structure in the style of the baroque. Photo: Vinh Citadel's Left Gate, lit up for the first time at night. Photo: Nhat Lan |

The Front Gate faces south and is considered the main gate of Vinh Citadel. The Front Gate is also the most intact gate after many historical events. Therefore, if lighting is installed, the nighttime appeal of the Front Gate may surpass that of the Left Gate. In the photo: Front GateVinh Citadelon the afternoon of May 27, 2021. Photo: Nhat Lan |
