Dien Hai Citadel, Military fortress in Hai Chau District, Da Nang, Vietnam.
The Dien Hai Citadel features square walls spanning 556 meters with four diamond-shaped corner bastions and a three-meter-deep surrounding moat.
Emperor Gia Long established the fortress in 1813 as an earthen structure to protect Da Nang's port before its relocation and reconstruction in 1823.
The Da Nang Museum within the citadel walls houses 2,500 artifacts documenting the natural history and revolutionary experiences of the region.
The citadel stands 4 kilometers from Da Nang International Airport and 2 kilometers from the central train station, with guided tours available daily.
The fortress represents one of Vietnam's remaining examples of Vauban military architecture, incorporating both eastern and western defensive design principles.
