This is a colourful seven tiered pagoda which is revered as it houses a sacred Buddha relic. There is also a Buddhist book publishing centre in the grounds. The pagoda is also of historical interest as it became the centre of opposition to the government in August 1963 when 400 monks and nuns were arrested. Thich Quang Doc, one of several monks to protest by self-immolation, has a memorial around the corner. President Diem was ousted and killed three months later.
