The Temple of Literature in Hanoi, Vietnam, is a historic site that dates back to 1070 and is dedicated to Confucius, sages, and scholars. It is considered one of the oldest and most significant cultural landmarks in the country. Initially serving as a center of learning and a university, it educated many of Vietnam's elite scholars and mandarins. The temple complex is an architectural gem, featuring traditional Vietnamese design with beautiful courtyards, gardens, and pavilions. Notably, it houses the Stelae of Doctors, a series of stone tablets that honor the names of those who passed the royal exams.
