Baphuon: This mountain temple has a pyramid shape and was built in the 11th century as a Hindu temple.

Phimeanakas: Known as the “Sky Palace,” this Hindu temple was built in the late 10th century.

Terrace of the Elephants and Terrace of the Leper King: These two terraces are close to each other but served different functions. The Terrace of the Elephants was used as a royal pavilion where the king observed military processions and met with his people. In front of this terrace is another temple with 12 towers, called the Suroprat Temple.

Victory Gate: Located on the east side of Angkor Thom, this is the main entrance to the city. It’s a great spot for photos before leaving the site.
