    The Franco-Spanish Cemetery outside Danang, VIetnam

    By Mark Bowyer / Last updated 02 May 2017
    The French began their colonial conquest of Indochina with a failed attack on the Vietnamese port city of Danang in 1858. Just north of Danang on the Son Tra Peninsula is a cemetery that holds the graves of French and Spanish soldiers who fought in that campaign. It's the only cemetery we know of in Vietnam that holds the graves of foreign troops. It sees few tourists but it's a must-see for history buffs.

    Rusty Compass listings are always independent. We list the places we think are worth knowing about. Our Featured Listings allow a small selection of businesses already recommended by us, to pay a fee for a place at the top of our list. That’s it. Featured Listings have no impact on reviews, or on the curation and independence of our lists.
