Prasat Suor Prat, Archaeological site near Victory Gate, Siem Reap, Cambodia

Prasat Suor Prat is an archaeological site near Victory Gate featuring twelve square towers arranged in two parallel rows. The structures were built with laterite and sandstone in a carefully planned layout.

The twelve towers were probably built during the reign of Indravarman II, in the post-Bayon style. The 13th-century Chinese envoy Zhou Daguan recorded that they were used to settle disputes among the people of Angkor. Towers N1 and its N2 antechamber, at risk of collapse, were rebuilt between 2001 and 2005 by the Japanese Government Team for Safeguarding Angkor (JSA) and APSARA.

The Khmer name Prasat Suor Prat means "the towers of the tightrope dancers," from a local belief that a high wire was stretched between them for acrobatics during royal festivals. Zhou Daguan, a 13th-century Chinese envoy, recorded that the towers were used to settle disputes among Angkorian people.

The site is accessible to visitors with a valid Angkor Park pass and can be visited from sunrise to sunset. Early morning or late afternoon visits offer the most comfortable conditions for exploring.
