Ancient Khmer Temples

This collection showcases the architectural evolution of the Khmer Empire within the UNESCO-protected Angkor Archaeological Park. It features the massive sandstone galleries of Angkor Wat, the jungle-entwined ruins of Ta Prohm, and the former royal capital of Angkor Thom. The selection spans from 10th-century brick structures like Prasat Kravan and Pre Rup to the elaborate temple mountains of Phnom Bakheng and Ta Keo. These sites represent a transition between Hindu and Buddhist traditions, characterized by intricate bas-reliefs, monumental causeways, and iconic Khmer masonry.
