Preah Khan, Buddhist temple complex in Angkor, Cambodia
The walls of Preah Khan extend over 800 meters in length and incorporate multiple levels of stone galleries filled with carved decorations.
King Jayavarman VII ordered the construction of Preah Khan in 1191 as a memorial to his father, incorporating it into a vast network of temples.
The temple buildings reflect a transition period between Hindu and Buddhist faiths through sculptures depicting deities from both religious traditions.
Visitors need to purchase an Angkor Archaeological Park pass and allocate at least two hours to explore the extensive corridors and courtyards.
The temple contains a rare two-story structure with round columns, which stands out among other religious buildings of the Khmer Empire period.
