Nhan Tower is located on Nhan Mountain (also known as Bao Son), Ward 1, Tuy Hoa City, Phu Yen Province. Specific location: No. 72 Le Trung Kien Street, about 3.5 km from the center of Tuy Hoa City, situated north of the Da Rang River, at an elevation of about 64 meters above sea level.

From the center of Tuy Hoa, you can easily spot the towering silhouette of the tower against the sky. This is one of the rare remaining Cham Pa relics in Phu Yen, harmoniously combining river and mountain nature with ancient architectural construction.

Nhan Tower was built in the late 11th - early 12th century by the Cham Pa people during the flourishing era of this kingdom. According to legend, the name "Nhan" comes from the swallows that used to inhabit the mountain in large numbers, or relates to Goddess Thien Yana – the deity who brought prosperity to the local people.

Key architectural highlights:

• Structure: The tower has a square shape, standing about 24 meters tall, consisting of 3 distinct sections: the tower base (sturdy, faced with sandstone), the tower body (tapering upwards by level), and the tower roof (lotus-shaped apex).

• Materials: Built entirely of special baked red bricks, fitted tightly together as a solid block with almost no mortar. The Cham used sticky resin glue from natural dipterocarp trees, combined with sophisticated casting, firing, and carving techniques, allowing the tower to stand firm over thousands of years.

• Artistry: Relief carvings and characteristic Cham Pa patterns featuring Linga - Yoni symbols showcase a harmonious blend of religion, feng shui, and aesthetics.

In 1988, Nhan Tower was recognized as a National Architectural and Artistic Relic. In 2018, it was upgraded to a Special National Relic. This stands as vivid testimony to the Cham Pa civilization in Phu Yen.
