<p>Yes.</p>

<p>This is explicitly stated in the rules.</p>

<blockquote>

  <p>You receive one gold for each military (red) 
  district in your city. At the end of your turn, you 
  may destroy one district of your choice by paying 
  a number of gold equal to one less than the cost 
  of the district. Thus, <strong>you may destroy a cost one 
  district for free</strong>, a cost two district for one gold, 
  or a cost six district for five gold, etc. You may 
  destroy one of your own districts. You may not, 
  however, destroy a district in a city that is already 
  completed by having eight districts (or seven 
  districts when the Bell Tower is in play).</p>
