Ho Dynasty Citadel (also known as Tay Do Citadel) in Vinh Long and Vinh Tien communes, Vinh Loc district, Thanh Hoa province, is one of the most unique stone architectural works in Vietnam and the world. The work was built by Ho Quy Ly in 1397, and was once considered the capital, the political and social cultural center of Dai Ngu country under the Ho Dynasty. After more than 600 years of existence with many historical events, on June 27, 2011, at the 35th Session of the World Heritage Committee in Paris, France, the World Heritage Committee officially decided to include Ho Dynasty Citadel (Thanh Hoa) in the List of World Cultural and Natural Heritage. After 10 years of being recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage (2011-2021), Ho Dynasty Citadel has preserved and promoted its inherent value, conducted many excavations and found many valuable data, contributing greatly to the restoration and embellishment of this "unique" stone citadel./.
