Phnom Chisor
Takeo Province, off Rte 2, 2
hours south of Phnom Penh
At the top of Phnom Chisor sit
some very nicely preserved
10th/11th century AD Angkorian
era ruins. The temple was constructed
under King Suryavarman
I during a period when the
Angkorian-era Khmer Empire
was nearing its apex. As most
Angkorian temples of the period, this temple is Hindu,
dedicated to Shiva and Vishnu. The 503 steps to the temple
on top of the hill make for a fairly rigorous climb but
the quality of the ruins and the amazing view of the countryside
make the effort well worth it.
