Ta Prohm Temple

The temple was built by King Dzhayavarmanom VII as a Buddhist monastery and university. Unlike most other temples of Angkor, Ta Prohm has remained in the same condition in which it was found: a simply photogenic atmosphere of the trees growing out of the ruins and surrounding jungle have done it one of the most popular temples of Angkor to the visitors.
