Noon Gate is the main gate and is located in the South of the Imperial City, reserved only for the king and his entourage to enter and exit the Imperial Palace, or to welcome envoys. Previously, this location was Nam Khuyet Dai, built at the beginning of King Gia Long's reign. In the 14th year of Minh Mang (1833), when the Nguyen Dynasty reorganized the entire architectural plan of the Imperial City, Nam Khuyet Dai was demolished to build a more majestic and larger Noon Gate. The South direction, according to the concept of Eastern feng shui geography, is the "Ty - Ngo" direction. In fact, the direction of Noon Gate as well as the entire Hue Citadel - is the "Can - Ton" direction (Northwest - Southeast), but it is still considered the Ngo direction (South). According to the Book of Changes, the South is the direction reserved for kings to “rule the world, turn toward the light to rule the country”. After more than 200 years with the effects of time, harsh weather and even the smoke of war, Noon Gate still exists and stands firm until today to become a symbol of Hue. To briefly describe the architecture of Noon Gate, Hue folk songs have the following verse: “Noon Gate has five doors and nine floors, One golden floor, eight green floors Three straight doors, two surrounding doors What is the point of being a woman in the Imperial City.” Noon Gate architecture is divided into two main parts: the platform system below and the Ngu Phung floor above. Although the nature and construction materials are very different, these two components are designed in harmony with each other, becoming a unified whole. Platform system. The platform has a perpendicular U-shape, the base is 57.77m long, the side is 27.6m long. The platform is built of bricks and stones combined with bronze beams, nearly 5m high, occupying an area of more than 1,560 m2 (including the inside of the U). The platform has 5 entrances, the middle entrance has a signboard with 2 Chinese characters "Noon Gate" carved in bronze. The middle entrance is only for the king, the two sides are Ta Giap Gate and Huu Giap Gate for civil and military officials in the Royal procession. The two outermost entrances on the two wings of the U are Ta Dich Gate and Huu Dich Gate for the soldiers and elephants and horses accompanying them. Ngu Phung Tower. Ngu Phung Tower is the part of the tower located above the platform of the gate. In addition to the main platform, the tower is also elevated by a 1.15m high foundation system that runs throughout the U-shaped platform. The Ngu Phung Tower is designed with two floors, the frame structure is completely made of ironwood, including 100 pillars, symbolizing the common people of the world. The roofs of the lower floors are connected to each other, running around to cover the back porch. The roofs of the upper floors are divided into 9 roof sets, light and graceful.

  Dubrovnik City Walls: where every stone holds a story 📯✒️ When arriving to Dubrovnik, as you approach Old Town, the drive becomes a leisurely descent - even your thoughts seem to slow down. Nearing the walls feels like stepping into the beginning of a tale, a poetic anticipation of something extraordinary is about to unfold. One of Europe's most monumental fortifications stands before you: an amazing construction, spanned from the 13th to the 17th century. The walls form an irregular polygon, stretching for 1940 meters, encircling the city with fortresses, citadels, bastions, gunpowder magazines and countless smaller towers whose names are too numerous to recall. The first to greet you is the impressive round Minčeta Fortress, the most beautiful among them all commanding the City with its size and majestic crown, elegantly reminiscent of a fairy tale. Minčeta was named after the noble Menčetić family who donated their land for its construction. The tower was built in two phases. Initially square, but in the 15th century it acquired its rounded appearance through the design of the renowned European architect Michelozzo di Bartolomeo from Florence. The work was finalized by the famous Croatian master Juraj Dalmatinac, giving the tower the monumental shape it boasts today. The walls are a symbol and a visible reminder of the once small yet immensely powerful Dubrovnik Republic - a maritime force that sailed authoritatively across seas and oceans, a state known for its astute diplomacy and shrewd trade. It reached its zenith in the 15th and 16th centuries, being counted among the most developed states of the Western world. Aside from implementing high urban standards for a Renaissance city, such as sewage, fire services, nursing homes, orphanages, hospitals, pharmacies and introducing quarantine, Dubrovnik was also the first in Europe to abolish slavery at the beginning of the 15th century, long before others. Orphanage in the monastery of St. Clare from 1432 was one of the first such institutions in the world. In a word, Dubrovnik was exceptional. The Statute from 1272 reflects the city's personality and true identity with legal meticulousness - a legacy that has endured for centuries. #dubrovnik #croatiatravel #travel #beautifuldestinations
