The Citadel of the Hồ Dynasty (Vietnamese: Thành nhà Hồ, chữ Nho: 城茹胡; also called Tây Đô/西都castle or Tây Giai castle) is a 15th-century stone fortress in Thanh Hóa, Vietnam. It served as the western capital of the Hồ dynasty (1398–1407) while also being an important political, economic, and cultural centre in the 16th to the 18th century. It is located in modern Tây Giai commune, Vĩnh Lộc District, in Thanh Hóa Province, in Vietnam's North Central Coast region.
