My Son

Located fifty kilometers west of the small town of Hoi An, the archaeological site of My Son was the religious and political capital of the Champa Kingdom, unique culture that flourished on the coast of central Vietnam IV in the thirteenth century. Ranked today World Heritage by UNESCO, it includes the most important remains of the ancient kingdom .

It was not until the late nineteenth century that the mystery of My Son is pierced by scientists at the French School of the Far East. The remarkable site comprised approximately 70 architectural works / tower sanctuaries of brick and stone in the heart of a pervasive nature. These buildings were all decorated with carved ornaments and other delicate friezes, fit for Cham art strongly influenced by Indian Hinduism
