    King : Jayavarman VII From 1181 to 1218
    Location : Angkor Thom, in the south of the Carpeaux road. Between Bayon and the Western Gate.



    A small ruined tower situated in a tranquil part of Angkor Thom. Inscriptions reveal that this site has been built since the 9th century, however the existing design is post Angkorian. The types of materials dating from the 10th and 11th centuries had been reused in the recent construction that was most likely assembled at the late 13th century. Several of the designs and carvings that remain are Buddhist; some dating as late as the 17th century.
