Mausoleum of Emperor Minh Mang, Hue, Vietnam

Mausoleum of Emperor Minh Mang, Hue, Vietnam (Lăng mộ Hoàng đế Minh Mạng)

The second Emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty, Minh Mang is the son of Emperor Gia Long. Upon his father’s death in 1820, Minh Mang became emperor and began to build many palaces inside the imperial city and the Forbidden Purple City in Hue. Minh Mang distinguished himself by his erudition and was known to be an ultra-Confucian and anti-Western ruler who launched an intolerant religious policy towards Christians. He himself drew up the plans for his tomb but died at the age of 50 of a fall from his horse before construction could begin (1840-1843). It is then the only tomb to be built after the death of a sovereign.
