The most beautiful temples to visit Hoi An

Opposite rue Hai Bà Trung, on a pleasant little square, stands the superb Tam Quan gate, or three-entrance gate, leading to an ancient temple complex dating back to 1626. The three entrance gates lead to a large field and two worship areas of the complex dedicated to a patron god, a goddess who brings blessing and security, 36 celestial protectors and 12 midwives. The Bà Mu temple is nicknamed the "temple of the midwife" by the city's inhabitants, who regularly bring their children here in search of blessings.
