Thap Banh It: 900-Year-Old Towers
Located in Vietnam, a relic from the bygone Champa Kingdom, Thap Banh It Towers are some of the most impressive sites in the country. The towers have a history of nearly a millennium and represent the architectural qualities of a now nigh-extinct society. The Cham kingdom controlled Vietnam until the late 15th century. Although very few descendants exist today, the architectural and cultural heritage that the kingdom left in Vietnam is undeniable. At the peak of their power, the Cham controlled the Silk Road and most of the trade in Asia. Their power allowed them to hone their craft in peace and make some durable structures that survive to this day.
