Bang An Tower

Bang An Tower

Bang An Tower in Dien An commune, Dien Ban district, located close to 609 road (connecting Vinh Dien with Ai Nghia) is relatively intact. According to the researchers, Bang An tower was built around the tenth century , there is a unique architecture, absolutely unlike any tower, existing today across the country. Overall, Bang An tower is linga (penis), located in the middle of the spacious space. Linga symbolizes Siva, which is used as a place of worship and sacrifice of the Cham people. The tower is built in an octagonal shape, each edge is 4m long, 21m high. In front of the tower there are two stone animals: Lion and elephants. According to Cham cultural researchers, Bang An tower is a high -value monument in terms of architecture, related to religion and beliefs of the Cham people. Therefore, in 1989, Bang An tower was recognized by the Ministry of Culture as a national monument. In 1943, due to the destructive war, the tower was damaged in the lobby, the French engineers restored. But unfortunately did not master the technique, the French built bricks with cement (wide vessels), so it broke the unique architecture of the Cham people (between the bricks without the lake). With a unique architecture, located convenient and beautiful, Bang An tower is an ideal address for tourists to visit at home and abroad.
