Accordingly, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism agreed with the People's Committee of Khanh Hoa province to compile a dossier on Dien Khanh Citadel relic to submit to the Prime Minister for consideration and ranking as a special national relic.
Regarding the name, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism proposed that Khanh Hoa province research and use the name Thanh Dien Khanh.

Dien Khanh Citadel was built in 1793, on an area of 3.5 hectares, 2,600m long, with walls 3.5m high. This project was the political and administrative center of Khanh Hoa province from 1802 to 1945.
In 1988, the citadel was ranked as a national historical and cultural relic.
In early 2025, the project to restore and embellish the Dien Khanh ancient citadel relic officially started after many years of delay for many reasons.
The project has a total investment of nearly 167 billion VND, invested by Khanh Hoa Provincial Development Project Management Board.
