“Weltkulturerbe” (World Heritage Site)

The vast Citadel of Huế, Vietnam, was home to the emperors of the Nguyễn dynasty and contains many palaces, gardens, and tombs — all part of the Complex of Huế Monuments, designated a UN World Heritage Site. For #Doorsday, here are some views through its many gates and doorways.

An outdoor view framed by a weathered archway in the foreground with a crumbling, earth-toned surface. A path with large square tiles leads down some steps to a tiled pedestrian bridge that crosses a narrow river. Bare-branched frangipani trees flank the bridge’s near end and push into view from the sides of the arch. On the far side of the river are steps leading up to a two-tiered building with sloped roofs, surrounded by green trees.
A doorway set into a paneled wooden wall, painted a vivid red with gold borders and ornamentation. A path of brown-orange tiles leads through the door to the outside, where a roof is held up by supporting posts and beams, which appear to the viewer like a series of receding doorways. Bright sunlight from the left side of the path washes out some of the outdoor view.

The arch’s crumbling surface bears the marks of time and history, including bullet holes from previous wars. A frangipani tree stands off to its right. A tiled pathway leads through the arch to other arches in the distance.
