Phnom Bok Temple, one of three early hilltop temples constructed by King Yasovarman I during his reign from 889 to 910, is located away from the main Angkorian monuments on the route to Banteay Srei. This small temple features towers and the ruins of two libraries, along with the remains of a 13-foot-tall (4-meter-tall) lingam, a phallic symbol. Visitors are drawn to the site primarily for its panoramic views, which offer a unique perspective of the surrounding landscape.
