Prasat Takeo |
beginning of 11th century, Jayavarman V.
Suryavarman I Hindu (Shiva)
An imposing five tier temple mountain built
predomoniantly in sandstone surrounded by a moat. Perhaps central to the next capital.
Best approached from the original eastern entrance from where the massive form of the
temple is presented framed in the trees at the end of the entrance causeway. The clear
constructional intention is all the more visible since the decoration was never completed.
Inscriptions on door frames of the eastern gopuras relate to dedications made in
1007.
