CAMBODIA ~ Ta Prohm - Angkor - UNESCO ~

... Beautiful temple site of towers, closed courtyards and narrow corridors... Angkor is one of the most important archaeological sites in South-East Asia... and Ta Prohm is one of the most famous temples of Angkor... a battle between  architecture and nature in the Cambodian jungle... visiting it is an exotic travel adventure... a "lost" temple still gripped by the jungle... Bedankt Benny!!【ツ】

Ta Prohm (Rajavihara) is the modern name of the temple at Angkor, Siem Reap Province, build during the last decades of the 12th century. It was founded by the Khmer King Jayavarman VII as a Mahayana Buddhist monastery and university. The King constructed this temple  in honour of his mother.

The whole temple complex is 1 km long, 650m wide. Previously, this temple used to occupy 12.640 people including 18 monks, 2.740 priests, 2.232 maids and 615 dancers.

UNESCO inscribed Ta Prohm on the World Heritage List in 1992.
