Phnom Krom Temple, or Prasat Phnom Krom, was constructed during the reign of Yasovarman I, who relocated the Khmer capital to Angkor. Perched on a hill south of Siem Reap and the major Angkor temples, the site features three ruined towers and an active monastery. The hilltop offers sweeping views of Tonlé Sap lake and the West Baray reservoir. Today, visitors can explore the ancient ruins and enjoy the serene atmosphere, making it a popular spot for watching the sunset.
