Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Heritage
Sambor Prei Kuk Northern Group
The northern group, or Prasat Sambor, gathers towers and enclosures from the old site. The remains are read in a wooded environment from the visiting paths.
Heritage
Sambor Prei Kuk Central Group
The central group, called Prasat Tao, is a separate set of Sambor Prei Kuk. The towers and their carved elements offer another reading of the preangkorian style.
Heritage
Sambor Prei Kuk Southern Group
The southern group, or Prasat Yeay Poan, retains brick sanctuaries and decorative elements. Its discovery complements that of the northern and central groups without leaving the archaeological site.
