Overview

Discover the rarely visited remains of the Sambor Prei Kuk complex and the ancient bridge at Spean Praptos.

Sambor Prei Kuk was once the second capital of the Chenla Kingdom (late 6th to 9th century), then known as Isanapura. The buildings are characteristic of the Pre-Angkorean period with a simple external plan. The principal material is brick, but sandstone is also used for certain structures. Architectural features include numerous prasats, octagonal towers, shiva lingams and yonis, ponds and reservoirs, and lion sculptures. Sambor Prei Kuk is located amidst mature sub-tropical forests with limited undergrowth.

Spean Praptos was once the longest corbeled stone-arch bridge in the world. The bridge was built in the 12th century during the reign of King Jayavarman VII. It is one of the few Khmer empire era bridges to have survived to the modern day.
