With the continuous construction from the 4th century to the middle of the 13th century, the tower-temples in My Son built by the ruling kings are the orthodox structures of the country, so it can be said that the tower-temples are the places which focus on expressing what is most typical and charming of the contemporary art architecture with the unique architectural forms. Most of the architectural styles of Cham tower-temples are present in My Son and the tower-temples in My Son themselves create the basic criteria for the identification of the Cham architectural style.
Among the Cham towers’ architectural form, the population sanctuary as My Son is very unique and rare. The towers are laid/arranged in clusters of two or more ones. There are walls, yards and roads linking the towers together. Each tower has its own function. They gather in groups in which the main temple is in the centre and each group is surrounded by thick walls of brick. Most of the main doors of the main towers face east (toward the gods). Some big towers have west door in addition. In front of the main temple (kalan) is a gate-tower (gopura) with the small structure of the two-door communicating with each other: one door facing east, one door facing the main temple. Next to the gate-tower is often a long house (mandapa) which has a tiled roof and commodious inside to welcome the pilgrims and receive offerings as well as to perform the dances in sacrifice to gods. Around the main temple is the small temples or auxiliary buildings.
