Hoa Lai Tower Relics

Hoa Lai Tower Relics

Hoa Lai Tower, an ancient tower is said to be one of the oldest Cham structures still in existence. Hoa Lai Tower is located right on National Highway 1A, in Ba Thap village, Bac Phong commune, Thuan Bac district, Ninh Thuan province. The tower was built around the 6th to 9th centuries, with unique artistic architecture of the ancient Champa kingdom of Panduranga region. Hoa Lai Tower was recognized by the Ministry of Culture and Information as a National Historical Monument in 1997. As of December 22, 2016, it was ranked as a special national monument. In the past, this place used to have three towers, so it was called Ba Thap, but due to the erosion of time and historical fluctuations, one tower collapsed. Indigenous people also call this tower Hoa Lai tower instead of the previous name Ba Thap. Different from the architecture of Po Klong Garai tower, the architectural style of Hoa Lai tower stands out with arched doors with many round noses, octagonal wall pillars with curved leaf-shaped decoration. Coming to Hoa Lai Tower, you will see with your own eyes the extremely delicate art of construction and sculpture of the Champa people. The tower is an architectural whole including the North tower, middle tower and South tower. Currently, only the central tower remains due to severe damage in the 9th century. This place is known as an ancient relic area with many auxiliary works surrounding the tower, but over time only a few remain. Traces remain such as city walls, brick kilns... The unique feature of the Hoa Lai tower cluster is the extremely sophisticated decorative style with patterned lines on the outside of the tower's face limited to the arches, pillars and roof frills. Each tower project has its own beauty but is built in extremely harmony with each other. The North Tower is built of bricks, with carved patterns on the walls of birds, animals, leaves, flowers... very impressive. In the East direction of the North Tower there is only one entrance, the remaining three directions are all fake doors. Inside the tower, there are triangular boxes to attach lights to when making offerings. The South Tower is the tallest, also built of bricks and carved with patterns on the walls but not yet completed. The entire tower body looks like a massive cube rising from a square base and supporting a system of smaller floors. After more than 1,000 years and many historical ups and downs, the beauty of Hoa Lai Tower still endures over the years and retains the unique artistic values ​​in the architecture and sculpture of the ancient Cham people.
