The Hué Citadel, in the heart of Vietnam, offers a unique insight into the history of the Nguyen Empire. Its massive ramparts surround a city where every building and pavilion is a reminder of the past splendour of the imperial capital. Built according to the principles of feng shui, the citadel boasts vast gardens, lakes and richly decorated pavilions. The Palace of Supreme Harmony, the centrepiece of the complex, fascinates visitors with its meticulous architecture and resplendent gilding. In addition to its historical value, the Hué Citadel bears witness to Vietnam's cultural evolution, with its temples and altars dedicated to deceased emperors. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it retains its role as a site of remembrance and invites visitors to explore its corridors steeped in history.
