Welcome to the Virtual Museum of Cham Architecture, a site dedicated to the temples of the rarely-known Kingdom of Champa.

Located in southern and central Vietnam, the Kingdom was traditionally founded in A.D. 192. At its height, it even managed to sack the mighty city of Angkor. Although Cham people still exist today, Champa as an independant state officially ceased to exist in 1832 - though it never really recovered from the military defeat of 1470.

Along with the Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand and Indonesia, Champa was heavily influenced by Indian immigrants in the first millenium A.D. Its architecture certainly shows this, but also has elements unique to Champa. Come in and see for yourself.
