Ancient Temples and Sacred Sites

This collection showcases the architectural evolution of the Khmer Empire, ranging from 10th-century brick structures like Prasat Kravan to the massive 12th-century sandstone complex of Angkor Wat. The sites reflect a complex religious history, transitioning between Hinduism and Buddhism, seen in the intricate carvings of Banteay Srei and the monastic ruins of Banteay Kdei. Beyond the UNESCO-listed archaeological park, the list includes active spiritual centers like Wat Bo and the hill-top foundations of Phnom Krom, which overlook the Tonlé Sap floodplain.
