Phnom Dei, Sacred hill in Siem Reap Municipality, Cambodia
Located 20 kilometers north of Siem Reap city, Phnom Dei rises 272 meters above sea level and features clay brick temple structures with laterite walls.
The temple at Phnom Dei was established in the 12th century during King Tribhuvanādityavarman's reign from 1165 to 1177, marking a significant period of Khmer architecture.
The temple complex contains intricate stone carvings, religious sculptures, and a Shiva lingam dedicated to the poet Mathourindra, reflecting Hindu influences in Khmer civilization.
Visitors reach Phnom Dei by following a route through Leang Dai commune and past Angkor Thom Jr. High School, with the site managed by Svay Chek commune.
Archaeological evidence suggests Phnom Dei functioned as an ancient sculpture production center, with a nearby stream facilitating the transport of completed works.
