The Imperial Citadel of Thang Long, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Hanoi, has gained an additional area of 13,800sq.m, given to it by the Ministry of National Defence. The area, located at 28A Dien Bien Phu street in the district of Ba Dinh has, since 1966, been home to the Vietnam Army Museum, later renamed the Vietnam Military History Museum. The museum covers an area of over 13,000sq.m, including exhibition buildings, functional areas, and notably, the Hanoi Flag Tower. The Imperial Citadel of Thang Long is a complex of historic imperial buildings that was first constructed in 1011 under the reign of King Ly Thai To of the Ly Dynasty (1009-1225). The site is one of the ten special national heritage sites proclaimed by the Prime Minister in 2009 and was inscribed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee in 2010.
