Preah Khan, Siem Reap |
||
Preah Khan is named after the sacred sword of the 9th century king, Jayavarman II. Huge strangler fig and silk-cotton trees send out roots that intertwine with the tumbled stones. The central temple is a labyrinth of halls and pavilions with dead ends, blocked passages, and collapsed masonry. |
