Po Sah Inu Tower, Hai Street

The Pho Hai Cham tower group is 5-15 m high, located in a 9 ha area on Ba Nai hill, adjacent to the ruins of Lau Ong Hoang, 7 km from the center of Phan Thiet city. The tower was built in the early 9th century in the Hoa Lai style, bearing the mark of the prosperous period of the Champa kingdom. This is the place to worship the god Siva. In the 14th century, the Cham people built many more temples around the main tower to worship Po Sah Inu - according to legend, she was the daughter of King Parachanh, the sister of King Po Kathit.
