My Son Sanctuary

My Son Sanctuary is a project started by King Bhadravarman in the 4th century and completed at the end of the 13th century. Under the reign of King Jaya Simhavarman III in the early 14th century, My Son was an architectural complex with more than 70 temples with unique styles and designs typical of the Champa kingdom. Most of the architecture here is influenced by Hindu culture.
Due to the devastation of the war, by 1975, My Son only retained 32 structures including 20 temples and towers that still retain their original architectural features. On December 1, 1999, My Son Sanctuary was officially recognized by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage.
