The Neak Pean temple
|
|
Neak Pean consists of a pool some 70 metres on every side, surrounded by four smaller ones. In the central pond is a small round island with a temple tower.There may have been some beautiful fountains here, but little remains today. The whole temple wasonce itself an island in a 3 by 1 km lake. Nowadays the lake and the ponds have dried up and are once again overgrown with vegetation.
