Ba Đình Square (Vietnamese: Quảng Trường Ba Đình) is the name of a famous square in Ha Noi where president Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence of Vietnam on September 2, 1945. When Ho Chi Minh died, the granite Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum was built here to display his embalmed body. It remains a major site of tourism and pilgrimage. Ba Dinh Square is in the center of Ba Dinh district, near the President's House and opposite the National Assembly.
