Po Klong Garai Cham Towers

The most famous landmark of Phan Rang is the Po Klong Garai Cham Towers. This group of four towers is the remainders of a group of six constructed at the end of the 13th century. The towers, built as Hindu Temple, stand on a brick platform at the top of a crumbly granite hill. The towers are charming for its exceptional ancient look and the inside mystique.
