Accordingly, archaeologists and experts initially defined that the area of Tran Temple (Thai Lang) in Hong Minh commune now is the ancient Lo Giang Palace in the time of King Tran Nhan Tong and Kinh Tran Anh Tong, also called Kien Xuong Palace during King Tran Hien Tong’s time.
In 6 excavation sites, archaeologists discovered part of the large base of the unique wooden architecture structure of the Tran Dynasty, running from the east to the west, facing the south. Here, hundreds of artifacts dating back to the 13th to 14th centuries, symbolizing the power of the king such as a dragon or parts of a dragon or for daily use such as pottery and porcelain bowls and plates, were also found.
As researchers and experts said, Lo Giang Palace offers the same architecture as the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long. The results of the excavation serve as an important basis for historical studies of the Tran dynasty.
