This temple was made famous by the Tomb Raider movie with Angelina Jolie.  The complex was covered in jungle.  It is often called the jungle temple or Angelina Jolie’s Tomb Raider temple.

The Spueng trees grew all over the walls and infiltrated the rock.  Now, the trees hold the temple together.   If they were too be cut. the walls would fall.

This section has been reconstructed on cooperation with international groups and UNESCO to preserve as much of the Angkor Heritage as possible
