As the last capital of the Khmer Empire, it was a fortified city, home to priests, officials of the palace, military, and buildings for administering the kingdom. Afterwards, visit the sacred temple of Ta Prohm. In an incredible standoff between human creation and nature, the jungle's root systems have reclaimed this spiritual location now enshrouded in wild vegetation. The backdrop to many Hollywood scenes, the incredible Ta Prohm is both a cinematic and contemplative location. This afternoon is free time to visit the markets or try a DiscoverMORE tour.
