(Cinet)- Dong Nai Province has recently implemented a restoration work on an ancient citadel of the Southern Vietnam.
The 300-year-old Bien Hoa Citadel, located in the province’s Bien Hoa City, around 30km from the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, witnessed major historical upheavals. In 1837, a king of the Nguyen Dynasty (1802-1945) – the country’s last- rebuilt the structure with laterite and named it Bien Hoa Citadel. Over the course of time, the citadel, recognized as a national relic in November last year, has sustained extensive damage and erosion.
The restoration project costs over VND14 billion (US$649,324) and is slated for completion in 2017.However, the project was not implemented due to a shortage of funding. The work came after year-long research and consultation.
