 Located in a public garden atop Bảo Sơn hill in the provincial capital of Tuy Hòa, Nhạn (Swallow) Tower was constructed in the late 11th or early 12th century and has been classified architecturally as representing the transitional Mỹ Sơn A1-Bình Định style. There were originally two towers at the site, though the smaller one has long since disappeared. Damaged by French mortars during the late 19th century, the remaining tower has a square base with false doors, elegantly carved pilasters and pyramidal corner roof towers.
