PREAH PALILAY
One of the Buddhist temples not ransacked by the Brahmin reaction of the century, featuring a cross-shaped terrace known as the Royal Terrace.
This small Buddhist sanctuary built north of the Terrace of the Elephants is one of the few remaining Buddhist temples not to have been ransacked by the Brahmanical reaction of the 13th century. Thus, a certain number of bas-reliefs relating passages of the life of the Awakened One can be admired on the stone. Preah Palilay is composed of a cross-shaped terrace, called the Royal Terrace, about thirty meters long. A surrounding wall pierced by a gopura delimits it. At the top, the central sanctuary in the form of a pyramidal tower, about 20 m high.
