Mỹ Sơn is a cluster of abandoned and partially ruined Hindu temples in Quang Nam province, central Vietnam. Constructed between the 4th and 14th centuries by the Champa civilization, the temples are dedicated to the worship of the Hindu god Shiva and were once a site of religious ceremonies for the Cham kings. The architecture of Mỹ Sơn is notable for its red brick constructions and intricate stone carvings, reflecting the rich cultural and artistic heritage of the Cham people. Despite significant damage during the Vietnam War, Mỹ Sơn remains an important archaeological site and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999.
