Description
Preah Vihear is a magnificent temple built on the most spectacular site of any Khmer sanctuary. Built between the 9th and 12th centuries, its staircases, processional walkways covering over 800 metres and courtyards are impressive and atmospheric with some very fine carvings in situ. An authoritative text by Vittorio Roveda and Claude Jacques and photographs from before and after the site was opened to the general public, make this book a fascinating guide to a beautiful site, which has recently been incribed as a world heritage site.
