Spean Praptos, Ancient stone bridge in Siem Reap Province, Cambodia.
The Spean Praptos extends 87 meters across the waterway with 20 precise stone arches constructed from laterite blocks displaying Khmer engineering methods.
Built during the 12th century under Emperor Jayavarman VII, this bridge formed part of the vital transportation network connecting Angkor to Phnom Chisor.
Local communities gather near the bridge during traditional festivals, maintaining connections between modern celebrations and historical architecture.
The archaeological site remains open throughout the year without entrance fees, though morning visits provide better lighting for photography.
At the time of construction, Spean Praptos held the record as the longest stone-arch bridge in existence, featuring intricate structural techniques.
