    Ba Don Pagoda is located on Tam Thai Street (in An Tay Ward, Hue City), surrounded by thousands of graves with unknown identities and unclear origins.

    In 1803, to build the Phu Xuan Citadel, King Gia Long (1802 - 1819) cleared 8 villages on the northern bank of the Huong River, houses and graves had to be relocated. Among them, graves without relatives were gathered on this land, from which "8 Village Graves" appeared.

    In the same year, at Con Mo 8 Village, King Gia Long erected a stone stele to honor and bury those who had no one to worship them, engraved on March 7, Quy Hoi year (April 27, 1803).

    In addition, when building the Nam Giao Altar and Gia Long Tomb, unclaimed graves continued to be moved here, forming a second mound of graves. According to research, the second mound of graves alone had about 3,700 people buried. Later, a third mound of graves was added, where nearly 2,300 people were buried.

    In 1835, King Minh Mang ordered the construction of an altar in the middle of the sky (altar) at Con Mo 8 Village to hold annual worship ceremonies. Later, he ordered the construction of two more altars to worship the wandering souls of the second and third con mo.

    After the fall of the capital (May 23, At Dau, 1885), the French invaded Hue. People and soldiers in the citadel were killed when they followed the king to the Nha Do and Huu gates, killing thousands of people.

    At first, the dead were buried on both sides of the road or in the gardens. Later, the French forced the people to exhume all the graves inside and outside the Citadel. The unclaimed graves were brought to Ba Don for “combined burial”, forming a number of more mounds of graves. These were the resting places of soldiers, officers, and civilians who died in the Hue Citadel on May 23, At Dau (July 5, 1885), the number of which is unknown.
