Colonial architecture in City in state of degradation

Source: Pano feed

The City of Saigon, or Ho Chi Minh City, was established almost 300 years ago and during this time it has seen great and significant historical events.


Until now, many landmarks exist that date back to the French Colonial era, but these architectural monuments are a state of degradation with no schemes on ground for their repair.


These historical structures are home to several households who can barely afford to maintain these buildings and therefore with no outside support this historical legacy stands to be lost forever.
