Nhan Tower
Nhan Tower

Nhan Tower is situated near Nhan Mountain, on the northern bank of Da Rang River, close to National Highway No.1A in Tuy Hoa City, Phu Yen Province.

The tower was constructed on a rather flat area near Nhan Mountain. Nhan tower features a quadrilateral shape with four stories of the same style, and the higher one is smaller than the lower ones. This is a 25m high tower with 11m long foot tower. There are no decoration patterns on the tower walls. The central arch is decorated with a monster’s head on its top. This is a special tower top which is created by the harmonious combination of the image of Linga (often worshipped in tower of Cham people) and the image of the spire.

Under the French colonialism, Nhan tower had been partly damaged. At the end of 1960, local authority had the tower repaired both inside and outside. Nowadays, there is no worship items and statue in the tower. However, it remains to be an architecture symbol ò the former Phu Yen province.
