Cung Diên Thọ (Dien Tho Palace) is a historical monument located in Hue, the former capital of Vietnam. The palace was built in 1848 by Emperor Thieu Tri of the Nguyen Dynasty as a residence for his mother, Empress Dowager Tu Du. The palace is a testament to Vietnam's rich cultural heritage and the impact of war on the country's history.

The palace complex was built on a 10-hectare plot of land, encompassing numerous architectural structures, gardens, and ponds. It was designed in a blend of traditional Vietnamese and European architecture and was considered one of the most beautiful palaces of its time.

However, during the Vietnam War, the palace suffered extensive damage from bombing and fighting. After the war, much of the palace was abandoned and fell into disrepair for many years. In 1998, the Vietnamese government began restoration work on the palace, and it was reopened to the public in 2015.
