Bien Hoa Citadel, Military citadel in Biên Hòa, Vietnam.
The citadel spans 10,816 square meters, featuring laterite walls that encircle a campus containing a French colonial mansion at its center point.
Emperor Minh Mang ordered the reconstruction of an ancient Chenla citadel in 1834, which was later upgraded to laterite structure in 1837 as Vietnam's second largest fortification.
The structure earned the name Thành Kèn from local residents due to the regular trumpet signals used by soldiers stationed within its walls point.
The citadel stands in Quang Vinh ward, accessible through various transportation options and operating as a historical site under Đồng Nai Provincial Government management.
This fortification remains the sole surviving ancient citadel in Southern Vietnam, featuring a combination of Vietnamese military architecture and French colonial modifications.
