Da nang: Initial findings show that Tower Group L at the My Son Temple Complex, a special national monument in the central city of Da Nang, features a structure and design significantly different not only from other tower groups at the site but also from other Cham temples and towers across Vietnam. The discoveries emerged during an ongoing excavation led by Italian archaeologist Dr. Patrizia Zolese, Director of the C.M. Lerici Foundation, together with Vietnamese and Italian experts. Their work focused on the archaeological excavation and cleanup of the collapsed structures in Tower Group L, which spans 150 sq.m of this renowned world heritage site.
According to Vietnam News Agency, My Son, a complex of temples and towers belonging to the Cham civilisation, was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999 thanks to its historical, artistic and architectural significance.
