Banteay Prei Temple - Siem Reap

#passionpassport Banteay Prei, is beautiful Shiva temple in Angkor Wat Complex. Temple is largely in ruin and has recently had some restoration works completed on the north gopura. The site must have been an important site in its day, featuring an outer wall, an inner moat (usually dry) that is crossed by causeways on the west and east, basins, an inner galleried enclosure with four gopuras and pavilions on each corner, all of which enclosed a single inner sanctuary. The site is somewhat pleasant, being rarely visited, easy to get to, and having a nice peaceful natural setting. During the wet season, the moat will return to life and along with the lush green grass, the site transforms into a true ruinous beauty. #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #travelinspiration
