VTV.vn - The cultural complex of the Po Nagar Temple Towers built in Nha Trang City in Khanh Hoa Province is a typical architectural work of the Cham Pa culture and is in need of preservation.

The complex is dedicated to Yan Po Nagar, the goddess of the country, while the three towers are dedicated to the Indian supreme God of Shiva and his two sons, Sanhaca and Ganeca.

The Po Nagar Towers are not only an historical and cultural site, but is also a typical architectural and sculptural work of the Cham people.

All the towers were built using bricks and decorated with stones and ceramics.

So far, the Cham people’s technique of fitting bricks tightly together without any kind of mortar or adhesive has remained a secret to researchers.
