Pre Rup Temple

This temple is of the “Mountain” style, built upward and is relatively a square layout. It has an outer wall and three tiers. The top tier has 5 towers. One tower at each corner and then one tower in the center.

Pre Rup is very popular to watch the sunset. Many people go to the top to see the sun set on the horizon. To me the real show is from the ground with the sun behind you and looking at the temple. Because of the brick material, the temple gives off a kind of glow when the sun hits it.

It is good to get here early to walk around and explore. Many people will descend on the place at sunset so to get some photos without many people, arriving around 4pm is a good time.

Directions: Pre Rup is south of East Mebon and east of Sra Srang.
