Geschichte
My Son was established by the Champa civilization, which thrived in Central Vietnam from around 200 CE until the 19th century. The site served as a religious center dedicated to Hindu deities, particularly Lord Vishnu, and features remarkable brick temples adorned with intricate sculptures.
After the decline of the Champa Kingdom, the area fell into neglect, with nature gradually reclaiming the ruins. Today, My Son is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, attracting visitors interested in its historical and cultural significance.
