Tomb — in this subcategory, we have gathered for you the most famous tombs of major historical figures and other heroes of the country. During the reign of dynasties, particularly emperors, it was fashionable for heads of state to build tombs for their afterlife.

An especially large number of tombs have been preserved in the city of Huế. In this group, you can find information about the tombs of the following emperors: Khải Định, Gia Long (founder of the Nguyễn dynasty), Minh Mạng (who did not manage to finish building his tomb during his lifetime), Thiệu Trị (the third emperor of the Nguyễn dynasty, who asked for a more modest tomb to be built), and Tự Đức.
