The Twin Towers are one of the eight remaining Cham tower clusters on Binh Dinh land today, one of the relics of Cham cultural architecture with unique religious colors. The tower has a unique structure, including two towers, the large tower is about 25m high, the small tower is 23m high, the main door of the two towers is facing south. The tower is built of baked bricks arranged tightly together with a special adhesive, a unique masonry technique unique to the Cham people that is still indecipherable today. The tower is structured into three main parts: The base of the tower is a stone block (large tower), bricks (small tower) are stacked solidly; The square tower body and curved face tower top are formed by tightly stacked baked bricks. The corners of the tower are decorated with many statues of Garuda god birds, elephant heads, lions and seated figures with 6 or 8 stone arms according to Cham beliefs. All are carved very exquisitely and vividly. The inside of the large tower worships the linga and yoni mascots through the symbol of mortar and pestle pounding rice. Come here to admire the unique artwork and religion from the wisdom and talented hands of the ancient Cham people.
