A representative Khmer structure (illustration) built in the capital of the Angkor dynasty (9th to 15th centuries) that flourished in Cambodia. It is located about 5 km north of Siem Reap city. It is a huge temple built by piling up sandstone blocks, and its beautiful silhouette is praised as a masterpiece of Khmer architecture. It is a Hindu (Vaishnavite) mausoleum temple built by Suryavarman II in the first half of the 12th century. In other words, this temple was built as a place to hold the funeral of Suryavarman II after his death, and the king devoted himself to the god Vishnu in the hope of happiness in the afterlife.
