Located in Phuoc Kieu, the Shrine of Blessed Andrew of Phu Yen sits just 8 kilometers (about an 18-minute drive) from Hoi An Ancient Town and roughly 27 kilometers (about a 45-minute drive) from central Da Nang. This serene memorial complex honors Vietnam’s first Catholic martyr on the historic execution ground where 19-year-old Andrew laid down his life for his faith on July 26, 1644. Today, the shrine serves as an important Catholic pilgrimage destination where visitors and pilgrims come to pray, reflect on his witness of devotion, and venerate a sacred relic preserved within its chapel.

History of Blessed Andrew of Phu Yen Shrine
Blessed Andrew of Phu Yen (1625–1644) is revered as the first Catholic martyr of Vietnam. Born in Phu Yen province, he was baptized alongside his mother in 1641 by Jesuit missionary Alexandre de Rhodes and quickly became a brilliant catechist dedicated to serving the early Church.
His connection to Phuoc Kieu Village in Dien Ban, near Hoi An, marks the solemn climax of his life. After refusing to renounce his Christian faith during a period of intense religious persecution, nineteen-year-old Andrew was arrested in Quảng Nam and publicly marched through local streets.
On July 26, 1644, he was led to the execution ground located precisely on the soil of Phuoc Kieu Village, where he courageously accepted martyrdom by lance and sword while invoking the name of Jesus. Today, the Shrine of Blessed Andrew of Phu Yen stands directly on these grounds, serving as an important pilgrimage site where believers honor his lasting legacy.

How to Get to Blessed Andrew of Phu Yen Shrine
Traveling to the Blessed Andrew of Phu Yen Shrine located within the historic Phuoc Kieu Bronze Casting Village is straightforward, sitting approximately 8 kilometers (about a 15- to 20-minute drive) northwest of Hoi An Ancient Town and roughly 27 kilometers south of central Da Nang (a 45-minute journey).
If you prefer traveling by car or private van from either Da Nang or Hoi An, you can easily book a local taxi, hire a private driver, or arrange a van transfer via National Highway 1A toward Dien Ban. Keep in mind that larger vehicles cannot pull directly up to the entrance, so visitors traveling by car or van will need to walk about 100 meters from the main road to reach the shrine.
Alternatively, renting a motorbike offers a flexible and scenic way to drive all the way to the site while enjoying views of surrounding rice paddies. For a smooth itinerary, visitors should consider combining this trip with a visit to Our Lady of Tra Kieu Shrine, as both sacred sites are located along the same general route for convenient travel.
