The Terrace of the Elephants is part of the walled city of Angkor Thom, a ruined temple complex in Cambodia. The terrace was used by Angkor's king Jayavarman VII as a platform from which to view his victorious returning army. It was attached to the palace of Phimeanakas , of which only a few ruins remain. Most of the original structure was made of organic material and has long since disappeared. The terrace is named for the carvings of elephants on its eastern face.
