Photograph by David Coleman. The Hanoi Flag Tower, a significant historical monument built in the early 19th century, provides a dramatic backdrop for displays of Vietnam War wreckage at the Vietnam Military History Museum. The 33.5-meter tower, constructed between 1805 and 1812, features a 54-step spiral staircase leading to an observation room, and has continuously flown the Vietnamese national flag since October 10, 1954. Located in Hanoi's Ba Dinh District, this National Cultural and Historic Relic stands as a symbol of Vietnamese sovereignty while the war debris at its base serves as tangible evidence of the conflict period. The museum, established on July 17, 1956, integrates these displays of military wreckage with the historic tower setting, creating a powerful juxtaposition of Vietnam's architectural heritage and military history.
