               Champa architecture is nearly 1,000 years old.

Banh It tower is a cluster of ancient Champa towers built around the end of the century. 11th to early 12th century, located on a hill in Dai Loc village, Phuoc Hiep commune, Tuy Phuoc district, Binh Dinh province. The entire complex has 4 towers, located on a gentle hill just 100 meters above sea level. From a distance, the tower cluster looks like little cake - a specialty in Binh Dinh. So the locals call this place Banh It tower. Recently, a group of British authors have included Banh It tower in 1001 architectural works that tourists must visit once in their lifetime.

Architectural complex of Banh It tower.

Chinh Tower was built on top of the hill, over 20 m high. Unlike the eastern gate tower and the Beer tower, the main tower of this Cham architectural complex was built based on the Kalan architecture. The walls were built elegantly, but very solidly and steadily over the years. On the roof floors are designed the system of columns and false doors. Some rooftops have decorative motifs bearing the cultural style of Champa people, typically on the first floor, including decorative motifs such as the lion image in the south or the decoration of the god Nandin cow, while the north side. Kala's face looks straight ahead and inside are stone statues. All have shown the cultural beliefs of worshiping gods of the ancient Champa people.
