From the first moment you set foot here, you will be impressed by the historical traces of the Champa period that still exist on the top of the tower, stone statues, dancing girls with curvy bodies and vivid, meticulous sculptures. Banh It Tower is a complex with four towers radiating out in four directions and clustered in the middle.

The most prominent part of the Banh It Tower complex is the gate tower in the East. The tower is 13 meters high, finished from laterite bricks with two connecting doors in the East - West direction. The gate tower at Banh It Tower was built according to Gopura architecture with spear-shaped arches, many layers stacked vertically. The tower's body has concave vertical grooves, forming a towering, elegant-shaped column, towering between the heaven and earth of Gia Lai. The Main Tower is located on the top of the hill, and has the largest structure at Banh It Tower with a height of 29.6 meters. The main tower has a square plan with each height of 12 meters. The majestic part of the tower is very majestic, meticulous in every smallest detail. The main tower at Banh It Tower has only one main door located in the East and three fake doors radiating out in all directions according to Kalan architecture. The main door is built to protrude from the wall with an impressive height of 2 meters. The door arch is built in the shape of a spear, in the middle is a relief sculpture of Kala's face, and the border of the arch is a relief of the dancing monkey god HaNuMan. The southern tower of the Banh It Tower complex has similar architecture to the East tower with special features in Nau culture and architecture, especially the Posah style: square plan, spear-shaped door, tower body made from cladding columns.

The floors of the tower have rows of columns in the middle, bulging at both ends similar to the shape of a gourd. From the main tower, go a little further and you will see the last tower in the Banh It Tower complex. This is a tower with unique architecture with a height of 10 meters, a rectangular plan, 12 meters long, 5 meters wide. The main door of the tower faces East, opening in both North and South directions. The tower's roof is concave in the middle, similar to the shape of a saddle.
