Phnom Bakheng dating from the late 9th and early 10th centuries, Angkor, UNESCO World Heritage Site, Cambodia, Indochina, Southe

Phnom Bakheng at Angkor, Cambodia, is a Hindu temple in the form of a temple mountain. Dedicated to Shiva, it was built at the end of the 9th century, during the reign of King Yasovarman (889-910). Located atop a hill, it is nowadays a popular tourist spot for sunset views of the much bigger temple Angkor Wat, which lies amid the jungle about km to the southeast. The large number of visitors makes Phnom Bakheng one of the most threatened monuments of Angkor.
