Banteay Srei Review

Banteay Srei Temple is built largely of red sandstone, a medium that lends itself to the elaborate decorative wall carvings which are still observable today. The buildings themselves are miniature in scale, unusually so when measured by the standards of Angkorian construction.These factors have made the temple extremely popular with tourists, and have led to its being widely praised as a"precious gem", or the "jewel of Khmer art".

Banteay Srei is a 10th-century Cambodian temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. Located in the area of Angkor Archaeological Park, it lies near the hill of Phnom Dei, 25 km north-east of the main group of temples that once belonged to the medieval capitals of Yasodharapura and Angkor Thom.

The Queen's Palace, located in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is one of the three major temples in Cambodia, known as the "Pearl of Angkor Monuments". It was built in 967 AD and was built in 1002. The Queen's Palace is one of the most exquisite works of ancient Khmer sculptures. It is built for red sandstone, colorful, exquisite reliefs, and the beauty of women's feminine and soft. It is one of the most unique and exquisite buildings in Angkor's monuments. The main building of the Queen's Palace has three central towers and a large library, all of which are covered with exquisite carvings, and it can be said that every inch is a gem of classical carving art.

The Queen's Palace is very exquisite! Very! Admiring the craftsmanship of their time

Banteat Srei Temple is located a bit further away from siem Reap city. but it is another a must destination because the sculpture of the temple is very unique from other temples. It took around 30min to get there by car.
