Continue your journey to the ancient Quang Tri Citadel, a military fortress originally built during the reign of Emperor Gia Long in 1809, which has played a strategic role throughout Vietnamese history.

This site was the scene of a fierce 81-day battle during the summer of 1972 between the South Vietnamese Liberation Army and the Army of the Republic of Vietnam.
