The Huế Citadel was the former residence of the emperors of the Vietnamese Nguyễn dynasty in the capital at the time. The citadel contains an imperial palace modeled on the Forbidden City in Beijing and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Huế Citadel was built by the founder of the imperial Nguyễn dynasty, Gia Long, starting in 1804. The Forbidden City of the Chinese Ming Dynasty served as a model, which it followed in a scaled-down format.
