    Unlike many other temples in Angkor, Ta Prohm has been left largely in the same condition as it was found, creating a captivating blend of nature and architecture. Towering silk-cotton and strangler fig trees grow through and around the ruins, giving it a mysterious and romantic aura. This unique appearance made Ta Prohm famous worldwide after it was featured in the movie “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.”
