WAT LANGKA
The original pagoda near the Independence Monument was a meeting place for Khmer and Sri Lankan monks.
Next to the Independence monument, it is one of the five original pagodas built at the time of Wat Phnom in the 15th century. At that time it was a meeting place for Khmer and Sri Lankan monks. It was completely destroyed by the Khmer Rouge during the civil war, but it is also the first pagoda that was rebuilt after their fall. Its history does not show in its walls, indeed the pagoda has a resolutely modern look, and is of an irreproachable cleanliness. To visit for its historical interest more than for its architecture.
