Bakong Temple
Bakong is the Roluos group’s central stepped pyramid, rising above a broad moat and temple enclosure. Corner towers and smaller structures surround its central pyramid within the precinct.

Keep exploring Siem Reap with our travel partners.
The pyramid form makes Bakong a clear architectural anchor for the Roluos sites. Its surrounding water and galleries help explain the monument at the scale of a whole precinct. View the pyramid across the moat first, then compare its terraces and corner towers up close. The sequence reveals the enclosure as more than a backdrop to the central mass.
What to look for
View the central pyramid from outside the moat.
Climb the terraces to see the tiers and corner towers.
Look across the enclosure toward the smaller surrounding structures.
Useful to know
Use the stairways carefully on the upper levels.
Visit with the nearby Roluos temples as a separate trip from central Angkor.
