The Temple of the Holy Sword is a major temple built in Angkor, Cambodia during the 12th century. It is adjacent to the northeast of Angkor City. According to legend, the temple was built by VII to commemorate his father. The Sword Temple is large in size, and its rectangular wall is 800 meters long and 700 meters wide. There are four roads leading to the temple. At the entrance of the temple, there are several gods and Ashura who hold long snakes to stir the milk sea. On both sides of the temple, there is a long sandstone lotus wall, and there is a Buddha statue on the lotus, but They were destroyed when the Shiva hosted. There is a two-story building at the entrance to the east side of the Preah Khan Temple. According to legend, this house is used to store the holy sword. Its circular pillar is very similar to the Mediterranean architectural style. Starting from the central Santa, four narrow corridors extend in all directions with vaults. The gods of Vishnu and Shiva are enshrined in the west and the back of the temple.
