The Nunciature Palace no longer exists today, it was completely ruined in 1945. To remember this place, which witnessed the first patriotic actions of President Ho Chi Minh, the Ho Chi Minh Thua Thien Hue Museum Thien Hue erected a symbol of Nguyen Tat Thanh (President Ho Chi Minh) participating in the anti-tax movement in 1908 to commemorate.
