B/ My Son Sanctuary is one of the greatest and most famous historical sites of Vietnam. It is a group of
buildings and structures in Central Vietnam. The Sanctuary was designed and built in six different styles of
Cham architecture. The structures were built of mainly red brick and stone. My Son Sanctuary was built
between the 4th century and 14th century.
This site is a very important part of Vietnam's history and is considered by many architects to be a work
of art. For this reason, the Sanctuary has been preserved and restored many times. The next effort will be a
project supported by India. By the end of 2024, the restoration will have been completed and over one
million dollars will have been spent on repairing it.
This wonderful landmark in Vietnam is a popular place for tourists to visit.
