The Saladin Citadel of Cairo is a fortification in Cairo, Egypt.
The location, part of the Muqattam hill near the center of Cairo, was once famous for its fresh breeze and grand views of the city, and was fortified by the Ayyubid ruler Salah al-Din (Saladin) between 1176 and 1183 AD, to protect it from the Crusaders.

The Citadel in Hue, Vietnam. January 2023.
The huge Citadel (11km around the outer wall) where the 13 kings of Vietnam ruled from 1802 to 1945. The last king abdicated at the end of the Second World War after the Japanese were kicked out and Ho Chi Minh took over. Most of the citadel area was destroyed during the Tet Offensive in 1968. There are three layers in the Citadel, each surrounded by a moat – the outer layer, and the inner layers which include the Imperial City and the Purple Forbidden City. The King occupied the centre layer. The area is being reconstructed gradually. The gardens are extensive and include many large and ancient bonsai plants.
House at the Erbil Citadel, which dates back to at least 5,000 B.C - making Erbil one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Since 2014 it has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Most of the mound (apart from one) had been abandoned recently so the government can renovate it. The government has plans to move back 50 families once the renovation is over.
