Therefore, this 500-hectare complex has 3 walled cities from outside to inside: The Citadel, The Imperial city and The Forbidden city. The Nguyen family had spent 27 years in building it and they completed the construction in 1832. Hence, it became the symbol of royalty from Nguyen as well as a center for living quarters, religious ceremonies and defensive fortress for all royal members.
