Po Rome Towers

Po Rome Towers is a 17th-century Cham Hindu temple complex located on a low hill in Phuoc Huu Commune, Ninh Phuoc District, Khanh Hoa Province (formerly Ninh Thuan Province). Dedicated to King Po Rome, one of the last rulers of Champa, the complex consists of brick towers built in the late Cham architectural style. It is notable as one of the last Cham towers ever constructed and remains an important religious and cultural landmark of the Cham people.

Visitors can expect a hilltop complex with three preserved Cham brick towers set on a small arid hill surrounded by vineyards and rural landscape. The main central tower (kalan) is the largest and most intact, with decorative brickwork, false doors and a sanctuary interior. Visitors climb stone steps to reach the hilltop, explore the towers at close range, view the surrounding plains and nearby villages, and observe Cham cultural and religious elements. The site is relatively quiet and less crowded than Po Klong Garai.

Built in the 17th century during the late period of the Champa Kingdom, Po Rome Towers is dedicated to King Po Rome (1627-1651), one of the last effective rulers of Champa who is credited with efforts to revive the kingdom. It is considered one of the last Cham temple complexes constructed, representing the final phase of Cham brick temple architecture before the decline of Champa.

The complex is a significant Hindu religious site for the Cham people, dedicated to Shiva and to the deified King Po Rome. It remains an active place of worship during Cham festivals such as Kate, reflecting the continuity of Cham Hindu traditions, architecture, and cultural identity in southern central Vietnam.
