Once the ancient capital of Cambodia, Koh Ker was home to almost 100 temples, most of which are still standing. Among the structures and pyramids built under the reign of Jayavarman IV, this seven‑tiered and 118-foot-tall pyramid is truly unparalleled. However, very few of its beautiful sculptures are left at the site, having either been looted over the years, or placed in museums by the government. There are several temple ruins to explore in Koh Ker.
