Silver Pagoda, Phnom Penh, Buddhist temple in Royal Palace complex, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
The Silver Pagoda contains a floor covered with 5,000 silver tiles, each weighing over one kilogram, creating a metallic surface throughout the structure.
King Norodom established the pagoda in 1866, drawing inspiration from Bangkok's Wat Phra Kaew temple to create a royal Buddhist sanctuary.
The temple displays numerous gold Buddha statues, masks for classical dance performances, and traditional Khmer artistic creations along its interior walls.
Visitors must wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees, and photography is not permitted inside the main temple building.
The temple houses a solid gold Buddha statue adorned with 2,086 diamonds, including a 25-carat stone, created in palace workshops during 1906.
