Quick answer

In what year was the Hue Imperial City begun and completed?

According to the book Đại Nam thực lục as cited by Báo Thanh Niên, in 1803 King Gia Long sent people to survey and set markers in order to expand the old citadel of Phú Xuân. In the 4th month of the year Ất Sửu (1805), the king ordered work to begin on building up the Imperial City. The work stretched across two reigns, Gia Long and Minh Mạng, and was basically completed by 1832, nearly 30 years in total, with years of building, years of rest, and years of repair because of floods.
