Co Le pagoda is situated in the town of Co Le, Truc Ninh district of Nam Dinh province, about 15 kms from the center of the provincial town. As legend has it, this pagoda was built by the monk Thich Minh Khong under the Ly dynasty. It had been renovated several times during the course of history. The present pagoda was built by Buddhist reverend Pham Quang Tuyen in 1920. In front of the pagoda lies the 12-story Cuu Pham Lien Hoa (Nine colors of the lotus flower) tower; the base of the tower has the shape of a turtle. There is a 60-step spiral staircase in the tower. Visitors can climb the steps to the top of the tower for a magnificent view of the neighborhood.
