Un site classé au Patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO
Ce site est vraiment magnifique. C'est le roi Parakrama qui régna ici 33ans et qui put mener à bien la construction des monuments en alliant le style cinghalais à l'art indien
Il faut compter une journée pour visiter entièrement le site

Le site est grand et verdoyant. C'est préférable avec un guide papier ou mieux un guide qui vous expliquera les vestiges et pièces monumentales. Vous pouvez visiter le site à vélo. De très beaux vestiges et très belles sculptures anciennes en très bonne état.

si vous êtes en vélo pour visiter le site archéologique c'est le 1er lieu que vous ferez, pour vous mettre en jambe, le palais royal est en ruine, mail il vous faudra quand même avoir un guide explicatif pour bien profiter des ces vestiges et une bonne imagination. Si vous le faites au pas de courses vous aller manquer les détails sur les pierres et constructions, un beau bassin à gradins
Bon ça ne vaut pas quand même les temples et vestiges au Cambodge!
