In some countries, the term may refer to other religious structures. In Vietnam and Cambodia, due to French translation, the English term "pagoda" is a more generic term referring to a place of worship, although "pagoda" is not an accurate word to describe a Buddhist vihara. The architectural structure of the stupa has spread across Asia, taking on many diverse forms as details specific to different regions are incorporated into the overall design. Many Philippine bell towers are highly influenced by pagodas through Chinese workers hired by the Spaniards.
