In Vietnam, located close to the town of Hoi An is the My Son sanctuary, a masterpiece of ancient Cham architecture. It consists of 70 architectural buildings of various sizes. In the 4th century, it was set as the Cham kingdom’s religious centre to welcome visiting dignitaries and members of the royal family, as well as host important religious rituals. Having undergone the process of continuous development through nine centuries, it has witnessed the rise and decline of the Cham kingdom. Giving the structure a beautiful copper hue, it was constructed entirely out of red bricks and sandstone. My Son is a living tribute to the glories past of the Cham kingdom, and was declared a World Cultural Site in 1999. It is a remarkable glimpse into one of Vietnam’s most iconic ancient kingdoms.
