Preah Ko Temple

This guide to Preah Ko temple in Siem Reap follows three sandstone Nandi bulls that have knelt facing east for over a thousand years, and the ninth-century king, Indravarman the First, who built six brick towers behind them as a memorial to his ancestors. You'll hear whose names those towers honor, and what a stone tablet near the eastern gate once recorded. Look closely at the stucco the rain has stripped from the brick, and the sandstone details it could not touch.
