Banteay Prey Nokor, Archaeological site in Kampong Cham, Cambodia.

The temple complex spans 15 hectares with rectangular laterite walls measuring 420 by 370 meters and inner walls of 100 by 130 meters.

Built during the late 12th century under Jayavarman VII, the temple complex functioned as a strategic center for extending influence over neighboring territories.

The central tower displays Buddhist scenes on its pediments, reflecting the religious practices and architectural methods of the Khmer civilization.

The temple complex remains accessible for visitors, with the central pavilion containing inscriptions that provide insights into its historical significance.

The structure stands out among Khmer temples due to its black sandstone construction, differing from the typical brick or red sandstone materials.
