Co Tien Temple

Co Tien Temple

Co Tien Temple is located on top of Elephant's Head island at the end of Truong Le mountain range to the southwest. Elephant head stone is the fifth stone in the folk classification system. Its name is "Tuong Dau Son" which also means Elephant's Head Mountain, because the Truong Le mountain range running to this place suddenly protrudes a rock shaped like an elephant's head crouching to drink water. Co Tien Temple was built in the Ly Dynasty in an ancient architectural style, consisting of 3 layers: Front Street, Middle Duong and Hau Palace. Dinh-shaped architectural style (or mallet-shaped architecture). Through many degrees of rain, sun, wind and storms and the devastation of war, the temple was seriously damaged. The temple has been restored many times. In the 90s of the twentieth century, the Sam Son City Monuments Management Board repaired a number of items. The most recent renovation in 2010, Sam Son City restored the entire temple but still retained its ancient features. Funding for the construction of the Temple came from donations from people and tourists from all over. The temple was ranked as a National Monument in 1962.
