Stone pathway discovered in Ho Dynasty Citadel
An ancient stone path has recently been discovered in the center of Thanh Hoa Province, right at the southern gate of the Ho Dynasty Citadel, a World Heritage site.
An ancient stone pathway was uncovered in the heart of Thanh Hoa Province, just at the southern gate of the Ho Dynasty Citadel, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The pathway extends approximately 2 kilometers, linking the gate to the Vinh Loc District with the Vinh Tien and Vinh Thanh communes.
This discovery is the first significant finding in an ongoing project aimed at revealing the hidden infrastructure of the Citadel, including its base and road system. The project encompasses an area of 1,500 square meters around the Citadel. It not only clarifies how the emperor and his officials traversed the region but also reinforces the nature of the Citadel as a royal capital rather than merely a military stronghold.
The International Council on Monuments and Sites has recognized this pathway as one of the most remarkable roads in Southeast Asia due to its preservation, architectural ingenuity, and historical importance.
