Phimeanakas Review

A pyramid-shaped temple in the jungle behind the Terrace of the Elephants in Angkor Thom. Looks great, but you are not allowed to go on top of this one.

On top of the temple, there was a tower, while on the edge of top platform there are galleries. Phimeanakas is located inside the walled enclosure of the Royal Palace of Angkor Thom north of Baphuon.

The sky palace, formerly known as the Golden Horn Mountain, is one of the monuments of Angkor, Cambodia. The sky palace was originally built by King Raintracht II of Zhenra while building the palace, and then converted to Sumishan Hindu temple for Sumishan. The style of the sky palace is influenced by Indian culture in many ways, and the shape of Sumishan is derived from Indian mythology. The sky palace is not as complete and famous as Angkor Wat, but it is still an important milestone in the history of Khmer architectural art. It is the predecessor of Angkor Temple, which contains several elements of Angkor Wat architectural art, Sumi Mountain, the central pagoda, the gallery, and the temple gate.

The Sky Palace, located in the city of Angkor, is one of the monuments of Angkor, Cambodia. The Shiva Temple was built between 941 and 968 AD and was later converted into a Sumishan Hindu temple. Although not as well-preserved and famous as Angkor Wat, the aerial palace is still an important milestone in the history of Khmer architectural art. Visiting the aerial palace, climbing the steps is quite difficult because it is steep and nearly upright, and the width of the steps is equivalent to the width of the feet across. Up and down the steps can only walk sideways, especially when you have to use your hands and feet, be very careful!

The Phimeanakas rises at the heart of the larger Palace of the Kings of Angkor, a vast rectangle measuring 581 meters by 242 meters.
