Another Cham tower found in south-central Vietnam
The Binh Thuan Province Museum has announced
archaeologists have discovered a Cham tower in Bac Binh District believed to
have been built in the ninth century.
Nguyen Xuan Ly, director of the museum, said the area was a revolutionary base
during the Vietnam War.
Experts who have taken measurements of the new-found tower said its foundation
was undamaged.
The remaining main tower stands about four meters tall. Its length, north-south,
measures about 14 meters; its width, east-west, is about nine meters.
The main door of the tower faces the south, just like the PoDam Cham tower in
the province’s Tuy Phong District.
According to the experts, the architectural style of this tower is similar to
that of the well-known PoSah Inu Cham tower in Phan Thiet.
Binh Thuan Province Museum found another Cham tower in Ham Thuan Bac District
last year. Experts said they thought it had been built in the 11th century.
