| Abstract: |
The architectural structure of Manpada at the altitude 10m, the lowest plane in the architectural area Thap Ba - Nha Trang, was built with bricks, including foundation, ground floor and columns. The foundation is 60 cm deep, built with steps creating decorative frames. The ground floor was paved with bigger bricks but than those for columns. According to Parmentier, there are 4 rows of 24 columns but only 10 columns are rather intact now. In the inside, there are 2 rows with 4 big columns each: in the outside, there are 2 small columns. In the outside, facing the outdoor steps at the altitude of 2.20 cm, the columns have rectangular holes (30x20x15 cm). It is common to think that they were meant to support a wooden frame. This architectural ttype can be only seen in Holy Land Mi Son, in Po Klaung Giarai and Po Nagar Temples. This is a place for making preparations for worship.
