Nhan Tower

Nhan Tower

Nhan Tower is located on Nhan Mountain in Ward 1, Tuy Hoa city, Phu Yen province. Nhan Mountain has an altitude of about 60m above sea level, the circumference of the foot of the mountain is about 1.5km; Nhan Tower architecture is a transition between My Son A1 architectural style and Binh Dinh architectural style, dating from the late 11th to early 12th centuries. Many sculptures are associated with the Nhan Tower relic, the most typical of which is the altar placed inside the tower of the Thap Mam art style dating back to around the 12th century. Nhan Tower consists of 3 parts: the tower base, tower body and tower roof. The base of the tower includes many ledges and is slightly spread out to create a solid position. The tower's body is square cylindrical, both the base and the tower body are 12.4m high. On each side of the tower's body, there are 5 decorative wall pillars (including 2 corner pillars). Between the pillars there is a stepped edge forming a deep groove into the tower body. The bottom and top of the pillars create a wide flared shape, left plain, without carved patterns. The top of the tower body adjacent to the roof is built into a wide flared edge, creating runways running on all four sides, making the tower look solid and reducing the monotony between the junction between the square blocks. The tower door is located in the East, but has collapsed. Based on the remaining traces of the foundation, the protruding part in front is 3m long, the current tower door is 2.4m high; The top is built with steps to form a rolling arch. The tower's roof has 3 floors, the upper floor is a miniature image of the lower floor. On each floor of the tower's roof, there are decorative fake doors on four sides. These fake doors are also very elaborately decorated. According to Pacmentier's description, from the early 20th century, sea monsters can still be seen tearing apart snakes. Currently, only a few 4-sided truncated stone pillars remain on both sides of the fake doors on the roof floors. The last roof of the Nhan Tower gradually shrinks and ends at the top of the tower, which is a 4-sided pointed stone pillar, 1.4m high, at the foot of this stone spire is decorated with 8 lotus petals. The heart of Nhan Tower has a square plan, an area of ​​4.6m by 4.6m, the inner wall is built according to the stepped construction technique, the higher it gets, the narrower it becomes and connects at the last brick, so the heart The tower is shaped like a bell. The tower bricks are large sized bricks with a length of about 40cm, a width of 20cm and a thickness of 8cm. The construction technique is to overlap bricks on top of each other to form walls 2 meters thick. At Nhan Tower, on the 23rd day of the third lunar month every year, the Via Ba festival (ie Ba Thien Y A Na) takes place, lasting from March 20 to 23, of which March 21 is the main ceremony. The Nhan Tower relic is evidence of a long-term development process of the Tuy Hoa delta in the historical process. On December 24, 2018, Nhan Tower was classified as a special national monument.
