A majestic Cham tower cluster on Trau Hill, among the most intact architectural and religious monuments of the Cham people.

Po Klong Garai Towers stand tall on Trau Hill, a Cham tower cluster built in the late 13th century to worship King Po Klong Garai, who tamed the waters and taught the people irrigation. It is considered the most beautiful and best-preserved Champa temple-tower complex today, comprising the Main Tower over twenty meters high, the Fire Tower, and the Gate Tower. On the russet brick towers are countless reliefs of the god Shiva, the sacred bull Nandin, and patterns carved with exquisite precision down to every detail. The towers are not only an architectural heritage but a living spiritual center, where the Cham people hold the sacred Kate festival each autumn, alive with Ginang drums and graceful fan dances.
