Ta Keo Angkor
Ta Keo is an impressive temple located in the ancient city of Angkor, Cambodia. It was constructed in the early 12th century and is one of the most visited sites at Angkor Archaeological Park. The temple stands as a magnificent reminder of the great Khmer Empire that once ruled this part of Southeast Asia.

The structure at Ta Keo consists of five levels, each topped with a golden tower roof made of sandstone blocks. The central sanctuary towers over 20 meters high and features intricate carvings on its walls depicting Hindu gods and scenes from Buddhist mythology. Despite its beauty, Ta Keo remains unfinished due to political unrest that occurred during construction in the 12th century. Visitors can still explore its ruins today to get a glimpse into ancient Khmer civilization and appreciate its majestic grandeur for themselves.
