Immersion in the intellectual and religious centre of the Champa Much more than just a visit to ruins, this tour reveals the duality of the ancient kingdom: if Simhapura was its political capital, My Son was its intellectual and religious heart. Between the 4th and 13th centuries, this sanctuary was the nerve centre of Cham thought and spirituality. From the end of the 4th century, the Cham erected towers and majestic temples dedicated to kings and Brahmin deities.

• The first towers were built in the 4th century. Throughout the centuries, small and large towers have appeared, which now form this emblematic ensemble of the ancient Champa in Vietnam. My Son was once a cultural and religious center, as well as the burial place of kings and monks. King Bhadravarman I (whose reign spans from 381 to 413) built a temple there dedicated to Shiva.
• With more than 70 brick and stone buildings constructed between the 7th and 13th centuries, My Son has become the most important architectural center in the kingdom of Champa. The main temples honor the protectors of the Champa. The main god at My Son is Bhadresvara, named after the king who founded the first kingdom in the Amaravati region at the end of the 4th century.
