Description: |
|
Turtle Tower is a small tower located on an islet in the middle
of Hoan Kiem Lake. The tower was built in 1886 on a mound
measuring 350 square meters. The tower is a combination of
European and Asian architecture – with Gothic arches at its
first two-storeys combined with the hip-roof of Vietnam
architecture.
The rectangle-shaped brick tower has four
facades and four storeys. The base floor is the largest. The
upper floors are narrower. There are three arches on the eastern
and western sides while two arches are found on the southern and
northern sides. The first and the top floor are fenced with
horizontal and vertical spindles. Four ridge lines bend toward
the middle of the roof. The top tower is a 5-pointed star shape. |
