Banh It Tower, also known as the Silver Tower, is a cluster of four ancient Cham towers located on a hill in Dai Loc hamlet, Phuoc Hiep commune, Tuy Phuoc district, Binh Dinh province. It was built in the 10th century. The main tower, which is the largest, is about 20 metres tall. The entrance gate extends an additional 2 metres outward and is located at the centre of the hill. Surrounding the main tower are three smaller towers, all intricately and beautifully decorated. The bas-reliefs on the main tower depict lively dancing poses. The main tower is accompanied by a horse saddle-shaped tower, approximately 12 metres high and 5 metres wide. A special feature of the horse saddle-shaped tower is that its base protrudes from the body and is adorned with several figures raising their hands to support the tower. Banh It Tower is one of the oldest tower clusters and is a must-visit destination for tourists when visiting Binh Dinh. VNA Photo: Minh Đức
