| Description: |
Constructed in 1805, the tower is completed in 1812 during the
Nguyen dynasty, the 11th of Gia Long time, which was 5 years
after a construction time of Flag tower in Hue. It is in the southern part of Thang Long Imperial Citadel where Tam Mon Palace under Le Dynasty had been built, marking the beginning point of the southerly central axis, followed by Doan Mon Gate and Kinh Thien Palace – the central and most important point. Although nearly all the constructions in Imperial Citadel of Thang Long were destroyed by the French colonial, Flag Tower was one of the rare architectures that still remain today. It was used as an observation tower by French Army. In American war, it was also an observation tower of Hanoi’s air defense forces. |
