Angkor, Siem Reap · 13.4644°, 103.9128°
A small Bayon-style temple north-east of Angkor Thom, built at the close of the twelfth century by Jayavarman VII and dedicated to his father Dharanindravarman II, who ruled from 1150 to 1160. Its gopuras carry the four-faced towers characteristic of the style; the site was left largely unrestored until the World Monuments Fund began stabilisation in 1998, and by 2007 clearance and documentation had opened access from all four sides and allowed damaged sandstone to be reset. A strangler fig grown down through the blocks of the eastern outer gopura is its best-known feature.
