Preah Pithu

The Preah Pithu group contains five temples located northeast of the Terrace of the Leper King, featuring different architectural designs and layouts.

Built during the 12th and 13th centuries under Suryavarman II's reign, the complex includes four Hindu temples and one Buddhist temple added later.

The temples display both Hindu and Buddhist influences through their architectural elements, including bas-reliefs depicting scenes from the Ramayana and religious figures.

Visitors can access the temple complex through an entrance east of the main road, with early morning visits offering optimal conditions for exploration.

The site contains two cruciform terraces with columns and naga balustrades, connecting various sanctuaries through a network of enclosure walls and moats.
