About Mỹ Sơn

Mỹ Sơn is a forested valley in central Vietnam where the Cham kingdom raised brick Hindu temples, now a World Heritage site of ruins.

Mỹ Sơn lies in a green basin ringed by hills in Quảng Nam province, about 40 kilometres from Hội An. From the fourth to the thirteenth century the kings of Champa built brick temple towers here, dedicated mainly to Shiva, and the complex became a religious centre of the Cham people. It has been a World Heritage site since 1999.
