Prasat Phimean Akas

Phimeanakas, or Prasat Phimean Akas, meaning celestial temple, was once part of the Royal Palace compound located in Angkor Thom, and housed the Khmer kings for several centuries. The site may have been a royal chapel. Today it is part of Angkor Archaeological Park, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site in Cambodia. Unfortunately due to time constraints, we were not able to venture further than the royal terrace and the outer gate.
