The list includes the Mahayana Buddhist sanctuary of Prasat Hin Phimai, surviving city gates, and Dharmasalas—ancient rest houses or fire shrines commissioned by King Jayavarman VII. These sites showcase classic Khmer architectural styles, including intricate sandstone carvings and laterite foundations.
