Cham Architecture
Cham Architecture refers to the traditional architectural style of the Cham people, an ethnic group in Vietnam and Cambodia. This style is characterized by intricate stone carvings, brick structures, and the use of red bricks, often seen in temples and towers. The architecture reflects Hindu and Buddhist influences, showcasing the cultural heritage of the Champaka civilization.
