As reported, in the 2020-2021 period, the Vietnam Institute of Archaeology and the Ho Dynasty Citadel Heritage Conservation Center unearthed six wide holes with a total of 25,000 square meters. This is the largest excavation in the history of Vietnamese archaeology in the central area of the Ho Dynasty Citadel.

As the result, four clusters of vestiges from the Tran-Ho dynasties were discovered, along with two traces of architecture dating back to the Early period of the Later Le Dynasty (1428-1527), another from the Revival Le Dynasty (1533-1789).

Such findings helped archaeologists identify unique architectural vestiges of the Ho Dynasty Citadel. It is seen as the oldest main hall in Vietnamese ancient capitals discovered up to now.
