Cham Towers, also known as Champa Towers, are ancient temple-tower architectures of the Cham people
The Cham kingdom was divided into two regions: the northern (Indrapura, Amaravati, Vijaya) and the southern (Kauthara, Panduranga).
Initially constructed from wood, Cham Towers were later built using bricks and stones from the 7th to the early 17th century.
My Son Sanctuary, a cluster of these temples, is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site.
Located in Quang Nam province, My Son Sanctuary is a complex of over 70 towers built between the 4th and 14th centuries.
Despite war damage, it remains a significant cultural and historical site, recognized by UNESCO in 1999.
Material Value: Cham Towers attract tourists and archaeologists, showcasing advanced construction techniques and artifacts like Yoni stones and ceramic vessels.
Spiritual Value: They preserve the religious and cultural heritage of the Cham people, linking spiritual life with historical human activities.
