This interior corridor of the Prasat Preah Khan temple, located in the Angkor region of Cambodia, takes visitors back through the ages. The stones, worn by time and the passage of men, tell a story that is centuries old. Built during the reign of Jayavarman VII in the 12th century, this Buddhist temple is a testament to Khmer architectural genius.
The play of light filtering through the openings highlights the detailed carvings on the walls and lintels. Each stone seems to whisper tales of devotion and past grandeur. Uneven floors, slightly collapsed arches and successive doorways create a fascinating perspective that invites deeper exploration of this sacred place.
Prasat Preah Khan is not just an archaeological site, it is a sanctuary where nature and man combine to offer an experience of serenity and mystery. This temple, steeped in history, is an immersion in the true art and spirituality of the Khmer empire.
