With the position of a political - economic - cultural - social - military center with a long history, although no longer the capital, Hanoi Citadel was still built by the Nguyen Dynasty on a large scale and grandeur, commensurate with the position of an administrative center - the Northern Citadel, the provincial city. However, Hanoi Citadel failed to demonstrate its position and role and was quickly defeated in the confrontation with the French - the creative owners of Vauban defensive architecture. Based on research, comparison and comparison of the system of documents through Western sources and records, the thesis presents the construction process, scale, structure... as well as the decline of Hanoi citadel from 1805 to 1897. From the failure of Hanoi citadel, the thesis draws some causes and lessons about the role of ramparts in military struggles; as well as the value and lessons about cultural adaptation in Vietnam in the 18th - 19th centuries.
