In actual fact made up of three towers, this well known attraction can be found on Ba Nai Hill and has its origins in the Champa Kingdom. The towers are believed to date back to the 8th century and were built to honour Hindu Gods. There was once a temple here, though the towers are what remains and those exploring the site will find a “linga” within the main tower dedicated to Lord Shiva. The other t two towers are dedicated to Nandi, the buffalo deity and Agni who is considered the fire deity. Showcasing traditional style architecture prevalent during the time of its construction, the Poshanu Cham Towers are set amidst wonderful views of Phan Thiet and is an ideal place to also witness local festivals such as the Poh Mbang Yang Festival that takes place here every year.
