The pagoda was recognized as a city-level historical and cultural relic in 2006. In the pagoda's grounds there are many trees, including a tree called Somron, so the pagoda was named Somron. Initially, in 1735, Pothi Somron Pagoda was only built with simple materials such as leaves and bamboo. By 1856, the pagoda was built with precious woods such as spokes, ca ca, Thao lao and covered with fish-scale tiles. 100 years later, the pagoda was degraded, Venerable Thach Khieng - Abbot of the pagoda from 1950 to 1988 went to Phnom Penh to request a new design from famous architects of Cambodia, on the basis of preserving traditional architecture. system.

The pagoda has one side facing the gate of the Khmer Theravada Buddhist Academy, the other gate is close to the gently flowing O Mon River with a cool water wharf. The main hall is a prominent building in the architectural complex of Pothi Somron Pagoda, built in the East direction. Khmer people believe that although Buddha is in the Western world, he always looks towards the East to save sentient beings. The steps leading up to the main hall have a sophisticated Buddha statue meditating. On the wall are drawings depicting the life of Buddha presented very vividly. The images of the nymphs Kennâr and the god bird Krud are carved so high as to support the tile roof. The main hall's roof has three overlapping levels, with a dragon image running along the edge of the roof with its tail reaching straight up into the sky. The columns, fences, door frames, roof tops, and walls are all meticulously carved with geometric and water hyacinth patterns. Khmer pagodas all have core towers, but perhaps there are few pagodas that can preserve a more than 200-year-old tower like Pothi Somron Pagoda. The bone tower is right in front of the main hall, built of umbrellas, laterite, and bricks dating back to the 18th century. Inside this tower are the remains of many Buddhists and have been preserved for many generations. According to Venerable Dao Nhu, abbot of the pagoda since 1988, said: some Buddhists asked to rebuild and renew the outside of the tower, but the pagoda did not agree, because this is evidence of the pagoda's history and culture. nation's culture.

The Buddha statue in the Center of the Main Hall was carved in 1885. During the two resistance wars against the French and the Americans, Pothi Somron Pagoda supported and sheltered many young people who escaped the military draft of the old regime. Many monks and monks of the pagoda, after returning from secular life, became party members and union members. Typical examples include Mr. Dao Sang, Chief of Police and Mr. Dao Ca, Chairman of the Dinh Mon Commune Resistance Committee in the years 1945 - 1948. For nearly three centuries of existence, the ancient temple is still dignified and pure, many monks have studied here, there are monks with high virtue and great merit, such as: Venerable Dao Nhu, practicing at Pothi Som Rom was 12 years old and became the abbot of the temple.

The Can Tho Grand Prison historical relic is currently located at No. 8, Ngo Gia Tu Street, Tan An Ward, Ninh Kieu District, Can Tho City. To serve the ruling apparatus in Can Tho, from 1876 to 1886, the French colonialists promoted the construction of many agencies and offices... including a prison named "Prison Provinciale". The prison was built on an area of 3,762 square meters, adjacent to the Governor's Palace, opposite the Administrative Building and separate from the residential area, people often call it Can Tho Grand Prison. When the Geneva Agreement was signed in 1954, the Saigon government changed the name of Can Tho province to Phong Dinh province, and the Can Tho Grand Prison was renamed the Correctional Center. But no matter what name it is called, Can Tho Grand Prison is essentially a hell on earth - a place where imperialist colonialists imprison and exile our revolutionary soldiers and patriotic compatriots. The Big Examination Gate has an arch shape, on the left of the gate is the office of the on-duty supervisor, on the right is the office and residence of the chief supervisor. The large prison is surrounded by a wall from 3.6m to 5m high, covered with pieces of bottles and barbed wire. At each corner of the wall is a 6m high watchtower with guards and floodlights at night to control prisoners. Inside the large prison, there are 21 collective cells and many solitary confinement cells. Between the prison rows is a large yard for prisoners to sunbathe. In this yard, the colonialists and imperialists also built pagodas and churches to show respect for the prisoners' beliefs and religion. Around 1963, two rows of buildings were built on the yard behind the temple, the ground floor had no walls - for a time it was used as a vocational guidance house for prisoners... The prescribed capacity in each collective cell is only about 30 to 40 people, but sometimes the number of prisoners reaches 70 to 80 people. Especially after the Southern Uprising, the enemy crazy used all tricks to terrorize and take revenge on our people. Many leaders, party members and the masses were imprisoned by the French colonialists at the Can Tho Grand Prison. In addition, the enemy also brought hundreds of people participating in the uprising and leading comrades in the provinces of Soc Trang, Bac Lieu, Ca Mau... here to detain and brutally torture them. Especially during the period when US imperialism used the "Law promulgated by the Republic of Vietnam regime on May 6, 1959 to terrorize and restrain our people, arresting all those suspected of being "Viet Cong", At this time, the number of prisoners in each room sometimes reached more than 100 people. Many prisoners could not endure the regime of imprisonment, torture, and harsh food and had to slowly die in this dark prison. The remaining people were infected with all kinds of diseases: scabies, malaria, typhoid, tuberculosis... For special political prisoners, the enemy was locked up in solitary confinement cells, tortured to the point of paralysis but still alive. loyalty to the Party and the people, keeping integrity until the last breath. Despite extreme torture, the Party comrades in prison still had Party Cells, Party Committees, study activities, and organized struggles with the enemy every hour and every minute, resolutely preserving revolutionary qualities. It is the indomitable fighting spirit and patriotism of political prisoners that has inspired and enlightened the revolution by many prison guards and guards, and they volunteered to be our internal base. Inform political prisoners of our situation and the enemy outside to take precautions or have strategies to fight the enemy in prison. The South was completely liberated, and Can Tho Grand Prison became a deeply engraved evidence of the indelible crimes of colonialism and imperialism. It is here that so many outstanding people from their hometown of Can Tho and neighboring provinces have fallen to contribute to writing the glorious and heroic history of the nation. On June 28, 1996, the Ministry of Culture and Information ranked Can Tho Grand Prison as a national historical relic. Source: Can Tho tourism information portal
