Churches and pagodas were a central feature of some of the
heaviest
fighting in Indochina, mainly because they were often the only
substantial
buildings in an area.
So, what did Vietnamese churches and pagodas
actually look like
?
Here's the answer...
Phat Diem cathedral
Another Church in Phat Diem.
The church in Qui Nonh.
A fortified church in Tay Ap.
A typical Tonkin pagoda.
Sometimes, though, they also looked like this... a Catholic
pagoda in
Phat Diem.
