In An Nhon Bac, Vietnam, the Phu Loc Champa Temple rises 15 meters above the flat farmlands, a solitary brick structure built in the 12th century. Its square base and weathered walls show vertical pilasters, false doorways, and spearhead arch motifs typical of the vanished Cham civilization. Early French scholars called it Tour d'Or, or the Golden Tower, because the brick catches an amber glo…
