Canh Tien Tower

Canh Tien Tower is located on top of a not very high hill in the center of Do Ban citadel, the ancient capital of the Champa kingdom in Nam An village, An Nhon town. In the book Dai Nam Nhat Thong Chi, it is written: "An Nam ancient tower in Nam An village, Tuong Van district, in Do Ban citadel, is commonly called Canh Tien tower. From the shoulder of the tower up, all four sides look like fairy wings, so it's called that name." French researchers, in their own way, call it Tour de Cuvre (Bronze Tower). Towers are a popular architectural form of Champa culture. In Cham language, there is a common word for this type of architecture: Kalan (temple). The main function of Kalan, as the word implies, is to serve spiritual life and religious rituals. However, the tower's architecture is deeply artistic and is a work in which artisans express their talent and creativity, so it is less constrained by religious rituals. Among them, Canh Tien is a beautiful tower, uniquely shaped and elegant with a very reasonable layout. The tower was built tall and imposing on a nearly square plane, each side about 10 meters long with staggered ramps. The entire tower is about 20m high, all four sides around the tower's body are decorated with wall pillars, protruding in a harmonious ratio with the overall architecture. The corners of the tower body are made of large stone blocks so it is quite sturdy. In terms of form, the tower has 4 soaring pointed arch doors opening in 4 directions, but only the main door facing east is connected to the heart of the tower, the rest are 3 fake doors. The slightly protruding frill forms a support for the corner towers above. The carved images are mainly concentrated on the roof. With four existing floors, each floor has 4 decorative corner towers, each corner has small floors, creating a leaf shape that gradually gets smaller towards the top, creating the feeling of birds in flight. Perhaps it is because of this appearance that people let their imagination run wild, associated with the image of a fairy and named the tower Canh Tien. The carved stones in the shape of a phoenix tail mounted on the floors of the fake tower and the image of Makara, a sea monster in Indian mythology with sharp fangs and a long trunk, decorating the corners of the walls give Canh Tien tower a beautiful look. Luxurious, mysterious. Unlike many Cham towers, the decoration of Canh Tien tower is elaborate to the point of perfection. From the door arch system to the flexible, symmetrically layered spiral pattern strips to the delicately carved stone blocks forming connected patterns, all exude a beauty that is both elegant, elegant, and majestic. suspicious, superficial. It is also possible that due to its graceful beauty, the tower also has the folk name of Daughter tower. According to ancient documents, Do Ban citadel was built by Champa king Ngo Nhat Hoan in the 10th century, while Canh Tien tower was built in the 12th century, under the reign of King Che Man (Jaya Sinbavarman III). Perhaps this is the Che Man tower dedicated to Queen Paramecvari, Princess Huyen Tran, the noble Vietnamese girl who put her interests first and formed a historic relationship with him. Legend has it that before leaving Dai Viet, the Tran Dynasty's princess with jade leaves and golden branches learned thoroughly all royal rituals and Champa folk activities. Working as a bride far from home, she was loved and respected by her subjects because this Vietnamese queen not only spoke Champa language fluently, knew how to sing and dance Champa folk songs, but also took the trouble to teach the royal palaces. Women and subjects from their husband's hometown weave cloth, grow rice, embroider, and sew. It is not an exaggeration to say that: Marrying Huyen Tran, Che Man's bride price was the two continents O - Ly, and Canh Tien Tower was the love gift he gave her, as a sacred recognition of his people. .

Citadel Emperor

Emperor Citadel is located in Nhon Hau commune and Dap Da ward, An Nhon town, 27km northwest of Quy Nhon. Emperor Citadel was built by the Tay Son dynasty in 1776 on the basis of Do Ban citadel left by the Champa Kingdom and was officially named Emperor Citadel since 1778. During a long period from 1776 to 1793, The citadel was the headquarters of the Tay Son army and later the capital of the central government of Emperor Thai Duc - Nguyen Nhac. The Imperial Citadel was originally a rectangular architectural complex, consisting of three citadels: the Outer Citadel, the Inner Citadel and the Forbidden Citadel. The outer citadel has a circumference of 7400m. The Citadel, also known as the Imperial Citadel, has a rectangular shape of 430m long and 370m wide. Inside the Citadel is the Forbidden City, also rectangular, 174m long and 126m wide. Through many excavations, many architectural works have been revealed, proving that the Thai Duc dynasty developed on this land. That is the main hall's floor, the octagonal floor with Bat Trang tiles and Champa white stone. The two semi-circular lakes are symmetrical around the octagonal palace, with rows of coral stones and stone steps attached to the lake. In addition to two semicircular lakes, the excavation also revealed a heart-shaped lake. Hundreds of years old fig trees next to Gia Son island. The square well at the corner of the citadel is paved with laterite, but the water is still clear to this day even though over time the plants and trees accidentally cover it. The Imperial Citadel also witnessed battles between the Tay Son and Nguyen dynasties, including the siege battle between the two Tay Son generals, Tran Quang Dieu, Vo Van Dung, and general Vo Tanh in May 1801. Unable to resist the Tay Son army, Vo Tanh self-immolated along with the civil servant Ngo Tung Chau, who drank poison and committed suicide. After the fall of the Tay Son Dynasty, this place became a place to worship the "twin faithful" Vo Tanh and Ngo Tung Chau. Although the Imperial Citadel is only a historical relic, the culture and craft villages around the citadel are still the same as ever. Not as many as the "36 streets" of Thang Long citadel, but around the Emperor Citadel there are still many craft villages bustling with production such as Van Son pottery village, Phuong Danh weaving village, Bang Chau bronze casting village, wood turning village, etc. hats... show a bustling capital with horses, carriages and prosperity, making us feel uneasy thinking about an ancient legend. The citadel was recognized by the Ministry of Culture and Information as a national monument in 1982. Source: Website of the People's Committee of An Nhon town

Cha citadel relics

In its golden age, the city was called Buddha Tathagata, the capital city of the capital Vijaya. This is one of the four ancient Champa citadels in Binh Dinh, once the economic and political center of this area from the 8th to the 15th century. Cha Citadel is located south of the Vijaya citadel, now in the territory of An Thanh village, Nhon Loc commune, An Nhon district - Binh Dinh. Located on a high strip of land on the south bank of the Kon River, Cha Citadel consists of two large and small citadels built close to each other (also known as the inner citadel and outer citadel), both with a rectangular plan. In the large citadel area, pairs of citadel walls face each other with negligible length differences. When building, the ancients relied on the direction of the Kon River, so the length of the northern wall was about 100m longer than the southern one. The east and west pair of walls are nearly 350m long, while the north and south pair of walls are nearly 950m long. Except for the north side of the citadel, which was mostly eroded due to its proximity to the Kon River, the remaining sides are relatively intact. In the northwest corner of the citadel area, there are also traces of a rectangular campus, surrounded by a brick mound in which a very large number of remaining bricks and tiles with thresholds and door pillars of different sizes are found. large, especially with many yin-yang bricks and roof tiles - decorative architectural materials only found in the old capital of Champa like Tra Kieu. In this area, people discovered a beautiful bust of the goddess Kabera Yakshini along with elaborate reliefs made of terracotta, proving the real existence of an architecture. urban. The small citadel is located back-to-back with the large citadel in the northwest direction, with a width of 134m and a length of 240m. An interesting thing here is that the creator of this ancient Buddhist citadel deliberately arranged two large and small citadels in a continuous pattern, shown in the fact that the eastern wall of the small citadel is also a part of the wall. To the west of the big citadel, another section is added. In this small citadel, no trace of the wall was found on the north side and it used the Kon River as a moat to create a shield to protect the citadel. This shows that the small citadel was arranged by ancient people as an outpost of the large citadel, a very important waterway transportation route. Citadel Cha is a citadel that also has many other names in folk culture such as Citadel Hoi, Citadel Ho Xu, Citadel Bac, Citadel Cu... but the most common name is Citadel Cha. The large citadel is located to the east. The north side of the wall runs west-east, 947m long, 3 to 5m wide, and currently about 1m high. In the middle of the citadel wall, there is an 8m high mound, gradually sloping towards the two sides of the citadel, called the Flag Pillar Mound. The southern wall has a similar length, but has been eroded, remaining only slightly above ground level. The most visible relics are the two eastern and western walls. The eastern wall runs north-south, is 345m long with an average height of 4m, and the wall is over 30m wide. The western wall has the same length and height, but the surface is narrower, about 7 to 10 meters. The northwest corner of the large citadel is surrounded by two sections of the citadel wall, one running from the Flagpole mound to the south with a length of 240m and a section perpendicular to it running to the west, connecting with the western wall of the large citadel to form a rectangular campus. In the middle of this campus there is a large mound of bricks, the remains of a collapsed structure. The smaller rectangular citadel is located adjacent to the northwest of the large citadel with a length of 440m and a width of 134m. Thanh Cha Relics was ranked a national historical and cultural relic by the Ministry of Culture, Information and Sports on November 27, 2003. Source: National Museum of History

BLACK ROCK MILL

Go Da Den is a training and discharge location for Tay Son insurgents, formerly located in Kien My village, Kien Thanh hamlet, Quy Nhon district, now located in block 1 of Phu Phong town, Tay Son district, Binh Dinh province. On November 16, 1988, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism issued a decision to recognize Go Da Den as a historical-cultural relic. Kien My is not only a place where Tay Son leaders were attached from childhood to adulthood but also one of the early bases of the Tay Son movement. In 1771, after a period of preparing forces, Nguyen Nhac, along with Nguyen Hue and Nguyen Lu, raised an uprising flag in Tay Son Thuong Dao. In 1773, from the Upper Dao insurgents marched down to liberate the lower Tay Son region and stationed their headquarters in Kien Thanh hamlet, the center of which was Kien My hamlet. This was a wise decision, especially in the early days when the uprising was launched and the force was not yet strong. On the one hand, because this is the homeland of the insurgent leaders, but on the other hand, also very important, is the favorable location of Kien My. Located at the foot of An Khe Pass on the left bank of the Kon River, Kien My is a convenient waterway transportation hub. From Kien My, you can take the road through An Khe, follow the waterway up the river to the Thuong people area, or down to the delta, to the coast. After a short period of consolidating their forces, the insurgent army moved down from Kien Thanh hamlet to capture Quy Nhon citadel, creating a turning point in the entire development process of the uprising. Kien My village - Kien Thanh hamlet, as the headquarters and starting point of the insurgent army moving to liberate the delta, has a very important position. On Kien My land, there are still many historical relics associated with the Tay Son leaders as well as the entire Tay Son movement. In addition to the ancient tamarind tree and ancient well, Truong Trau Wharf also has Palace Garden, Tap Binh Palace, Cam Co Palace, Da Den Hill, and Cut Cu Hill, which are places that reflect the headquarters and barracks of the insurgent army. Go Da Den is a high and wide land. This is originally a wild forest with an estimated area of ​​about 5 hectares stretching from Phu Lac to Bau Dao. In the middle of the mound emerges a very large black rock, that's why people call this mound Black Stone Mound. Time, war, and the revenge of the Nguyen Dynasty, partly because the insurgents stopped here not long ago, so now there are traces associated with the activities of the insurgents, in addition to the places preserved in folk memory. , there is almost nothing left. The area of ​​Da Den mound was reduced to only 2 hectares, because people dug up the soil to make bricks and used stones to build houses. The large black rock has also been chipped into pieces.
