1My Son Sanctuary
My Son Sanctuary, located 40 kilometers west of Hoi An, is Vietnam’s most significant archaeological site from the ancient Champa Kingdom. Between the 4th and 13th centuries, this area was home to a unique culture deeply influenced by Indian Hinduism. The sanctuary features an impressive array of tower-temples that served as the religious and political heart of the Champa Kingdom for most of its existence. Set in a lush valley and surrounded by majestic mountain ranges, My Son was designated a UNESCO Cultural Heritage site in 1999. Originally built from wood, many of these structures were destroyed by fire in the 6th century. They were later restored in the 7th century by Sambhuvarman, who utilized locally made bricks for reconstruction.
