The most prominent Cham site in Vietnam is My Son, in the hills some 50 kilometres from Hoi An.
The Chams were a people and a culture which flourished for 13 centuries until the 15th century, after which they were absorbed by the Vietnamese. They mixed their own beliefs with those of the Indians with whom they were in touch and adopted Hinduism and Sanskrit as their religion and their sacred language. Their main legacy nowadays are the so-called Cham towers, brick structures which can be found in many places in southern Vietnam.
