Prasat Prei
Temple in Siem Reap
Prasat Prei is situated on a small rise, once home to a compact compound enclosed by a wall, which surrounded a single sanctuary and a ‘library.’ Today, visitors can still see remnants of the entrance gopura (gate), the wall, and the library and main temple, both of which are still standing.
Though small, the main temple would have been quite ornate, with several features still visible, including apsara bas-reliefs, decorative roundels, as well as a lintel and pediment. Pay special attention to the apsaras—one in particular has a rather sinister expression, while the others appear much more innocent!
