Hoa Lu is the relics of the ancient capital of DaiViet – the remains are the temples dedicated to King Dinh and King Le, the two heroes who lived in 10th century and chose Hoa Lu to build the citadel of the capital city.

The temples are said to be built on the old foundation of their original palaces in 11-12th centuries and restored in 17th century.
