Khai Dinh Tomb

Most ornate royal tomb blending Vietnamese and European styles

The most unusual of the royal tombs, built between 1920 and 1931 in a style that mixes Vietnamese tradition with European concrete and wrought iron. The interior is covered in elaborate glass and porcelain mosaics — gaudy by some standards, but undeniably striking. The hilltop location gives good views over the surrounding countryside.
