The enclosure gives the complex a contained, fortress-like plan, while its carvings connect it to the Angkor Wat period. It offers a different scale from the busier central monuments. Trace the outer boundary before entering the galleries; that progression makes the enclosed plan clear. Carved mythological pediments then provide a close-up counterpoint to the overall form.
What to look for
Walk the outer enclosure and moat line.
Look for mythological scenes on the pediments.
Follow the galleries into the central sanctuary.
Useful to know
Approach the outer enclosure first to understand the plan.
Use the open visitor route through the galleries.
