Ta Keo Temple (Prasat Ta Keo)

Ta Keo Temple, also known as Prasat Ta Keo, is a sandstone mountain temple that rises to nearly 164 feet (50 meters) in the Angkor Wat complex of Cambodia. Initiated by King Jayavarman V in the 10th century, the temple was left unfinished, evident from its lack of carvings. The structure features four corner towers surrounding a central turret, and despite its incomplete state, it remains one of the most imposing edifices in Angkor. Visitors can climb to the top for panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
