History & significance

Three east-facing brick towers on a shared base near Aranyaprathet, put up in the 7th century under Isanavarman I or Bhavavarman II and reckoned the oldest Khmer monument of consequence in Thailand. Lingas and pedestals found here had been broken into fragments, evidence that the shrine was deliberately desecrated.
