Previously on the ground of the present structure was Norodom Palace built in 1868 as a residence of the French

Governor General of Cochinchina. On September 7, 1954 Norodom Palace was renamed the Independence Palace and

became the Presidential Palace in which President Ngo Dinh Diem of the Sai Gon Administration and his family lived and

worked. In February 1962, a dissident of the Diem regime launched an air bombardment of the palace and heavily

damaged it. After that, Diem decided to demolish the damaged structure and built a new one which was designed by

Western-trained architect Ngo Viet Thu. The construction was undertaken by Sai Gon sappers and completed in 1966.

At 11:30 on April 30, 1975, tanks of the Liberation Army overran the palace. Then the Sai Gon president, Mr. Duong
