An intriguing relic of Vietnam and, signifying its historical and
cultural importance, the Imperial Citadel was recognised as a UNESCO World
Heritage Site in 2010. At the citadel, many artefacts and items dating back to
between the 6th and 20th centuries were excavated in 2004, including foundations
of old palaces, ancient roads, ponds and wells. On top of these discoveries,
archaeologists also found bronze coins, ceramics and pottery from many places
in Asia, all of which demonstrate a close trading relationship in the area.
