Preah Ko, Archaeological site in Siem Reap, Cambodia

The temple complex contains six brick towers arranged in two rows, featuring sandstone sculptures and detailed carvings depicting Hindu deities and mythology.

King Indravarman I commissioned the construction of Preah Ko in the late 9th century, establishing it as one of the earliest temples in the Angkor region.

The temple structures display early Khmer architectural elements through brick masonry techniques, Hindu symbolism, and religious shrines dedicated to Shiva.

Visitors can access Preah Ko through the Angkor Archaeological Park entrance, located 13 kilometers east of Siem Reap city center.

Each of the six towers contains individual linga shrines, representing divine presence according to Hindu traditions of the Khmer Empire period.
