Description: |
|
Phnom Preah Reach Troap served as the capital of Cambodia
between 1618 and 1868. Scattered across the mountaintop are
towering tombs of Cambodia’s kings, and a beautiful stupa said
to house relics from the Buddha himself. However, Phreah Reach
Traop Mountain is best known for the vihara of the 18 Cubit
Buddha - which faced North instead of the usual East. The
imposing monument was mostly destroyed by fighting during the
Khmer Rouge regime in the 1970s, and now only sections of the
walls, the enormous eight column base, and the right arm of the
Buddha remain. The base of the ridge also has a memorial in
honor of Pol Pot’s victims found in the area’s 100 mass graves.
Please note: it’s about 500 steps to reach the top of the
mountain. |
