There are also scanty remains of some fortified cities. The citadel of Śrī Banoy, an irregular quadrangle in shape, is situated on the right bank of the river Song Luy. This ‘shows greater knowledge in the art of fortification than any other.’ Thank Ho, about ten miles from the mouth of the river Song Da Rang, is ‘enclosed between a mountain and the left side of the river, and the open face is protected by a wall. It was also protected by reduits and towers and had several gates.’ Of the citadel of Chausa and Coy Luy very little remains to enable a description.
