via Vietnam Plus, 10 December 2022: New discoveries in the Thang Long Citadel.
The Thang Long – Hanoi Heritage Conservation Centre has coordinated with the Archaeology Institute to conduct excavations of the main area of Kinh Thien Palace this year on a total area of nearly 990 sq. m. Many architectural vestiges dating back to the Ly, Tran, and Le Dynasties have been uncovered, contributing to a clearer understanding of the structure and scope of the Kinh Thien main hall.
Associate Professor Tong Trung Tin, who is in charge of the excavation site, said many relics from the early Le Dynasty have been found, revealing traces of Dan Tri Courtyard and Ngu dao axis.
Of particular interest is the discovery of the Ngu dao axis from the early Le Dynasty for the first time, which was paved with large red square bricks. Next to the axis is an auxiliary side path to the east, which also coincides with the eastern side door of Doan Mon (the main gate).
