The Po Nagar Cham Towers are a complex of temples located on a small hill at the mouth of the Cai River near modern Nha Trang in Vietnam.
The complex was built before 781 AD during the Hindu period of Champa. It is named after a goddess who takes the form of Uma, wife of Siva.
Out of the four towers remaining from the original ten, the most impressive is the northern tower which is 75ft high. The lotus-petal motifs and the Shiva figure over the door are original while other sections have been heavily restored.
