The Dien Hai citadel was formerly known as Dien hai Fortress, built in 1813 in the twelfth year of Gia Long’s reign by Danang’s estuary.

It was renamed in 1835, the fifteenth year of Minh Mang’s reign, after it was moved inland and rebuilt in brick on a high mount in 1823, the fourth year of Minh Mang’s reign.
