Po Nagar is an ancient Cham temple complex located in Nha Trang, Vietnam. Built between the 7th and 12th centuries, it is dedicated to Yan Po Nagar, the goddess of the country, who is believed to have taught the people agricultural skills and weaving. The complex originally consisted of eight towers, but only four remain today. The tallest tower, standing at about 25 meters, is dedicated to the goddess and still serves as a site for religious ceremonies and pilgrimages. The architectural style reflects Cham art and Hindu influences, with intricate carvings and statues adorning the structures.
