Preah Khan Temple
What the experts agree on
Preah Khan is one of Angkor's grandest complexes, a sprawling maze of vaulted corridors, moss-covered carvings, and moated walls symbolizing Mount Meru, once home to thousands of monks and scholars.
“At its height, the temple was thought to have been home to over 10,000 monks, teachers, disciples and servants.”
