Krol Ko

The Krol Ko temple complex contains a central tower connected to smaller structures through a system of bridges and elevated walkways.

King Jayavarman VII commissioned the construction of Krol Ko temple during the late 12th century as part of his extensive building program.

The temple walls display detailed stone carvings depicting Buddhist imagery and scenes from Hindu mythology, reflecting the religious diversity of ancient Khmer society.

Visitors can reach Krol Ko temple by taking a tuk-tuk from Siem Reap city center, with access included in the standard Angkor Archaeological Park admission ticket.

The temple features an unusual architectural layout with four corner towers surrounding a central sanctuary, all positioned within a rectangular enclosure.
