City of Huế is perhaps best known for its historic monuments, which have earned it a place in the UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. The seat of the Nguyen emperors was in the Thành Nội - Citadel on the north side of the river. Along the Hương river, there lies tombs of several emperors such as Minh Mang, Khai Dinh, Tu Duc, and others, as well as the notable chùa Thien Mu (pagoda) - official symbol of Hue city.

The grounds of the Thành Nội (Imperial Inner City were) surrounded by a wall 2 kilometers by 2 kilometers, and the walls were surrounded by a moat. The water from the moat was taken from the Huong River (Perfume River) that flows through Huế. This structure is called the citadel.
Inside the citadel was the Imperial City, with a perimeter of almost 2.5 kilometers.
