About 60 km south of Phnom Penh in Takeo province is a great looking temple area on a hill, its Phnom Chisor
The temples have been created in beautiful masonry work and some other just like Angkor with some inscriptions from the 11th.Century when the place was known as Suryagiri.
The whole look quite similar to the Pagodas and Temples in Bagan in central Myanmar. The panoramic view from the hill over the plains of Takeo province is a breathtaking experience. This sacred spot was created under King Suryavarman I who reigned for 47 years from 1002 on during that time 4 major temple were built in brick construction with sandstone lintels above the doorways and the wooden doors.
