Preah Khan in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a significant temple complex built in the 12th century during the reign of King Jayavarman VII. It served not only as a temple but also as a Buddhist university and city. The site is renowned for its intricate carvings, expansive layout, and unique blend of Buddhist and Hindu iconography. Unlike many other temples in the Angkor region, Preah Khan has been left largely unrestored, allowing visitors to see it in a semi-ruined state that adds to its mystical and ancient atmosphere.
