Neak Pean

Neak Pean. Date: second half of the 12th century. King: Jayavarman VII. Cult: Buddhist

Located east of Preah Khan; 300m from the road, Neak Pean is a large square man made pond 70m each side bordered by steps and surrounded by four smaller square ponds. A small circular island with a stepped base of seven laterite tiers is in the center of the large square pond. Small elephants sculpted in the round originally stood on the four corners. Although Neak Pean is small and a collection of five ponds, it is worth a visit for its unique features. Most photogenic in the wet season when the pools are full.
