Direction:

Set on Cu Lao hill, this is a Cham architectural complex site founded in the 7^th century; it was then restored several times until the 12^th century. The site was used for Hindu worship as early as the 2^nd century. The red brick towers serve as the Holy See, honouring the Goddess Yang Ino Po Nagar. The North Tower the main one is a superb example of Cham architecture. Here lies a black stone statue of the Goddess Uma (in the shape of Bhagavati) with 10 arms, two of which are hidden under her garment. She is seated leaning back against some sort of monstrous animal. The Central Tower was built partly with recycled bricks in the 12^th century, on the site of a structure dating from the 7^th century. There is a linga inside the main chamber. In the South Tower, the North-West Tower and the West Tower, many objects have either fallen to ruin or have been stolen, but  there is still strong evidence of the Champas developed civilisation.
