Moat corner structure found in Ho ancient citadel
Archeologists said they have uncovered the structure of a moat corner and a part of the citadel foundation in the west of the over 600-year-old royal Ho citadel in Thanh Hoa province.
The Ho Dynasty Citadel was Vietnam’s capital under the Ho Dynasty (1400-1407). It is the only citadel in the country built entirely of stone that has remained nearly intact throughout the nation’s history. It was recognized as a World Cultural Heritage site by UNESCO in 2011.
