I recently visited Ta Prohm Temple, and it was simply unforgettable! Surrounded by giant trees and roots, this amazing temple creates an atmosphere of mystery and magic. The combination of nature and architecture is impressive — it seems that time has stopped here. Walking along the narrow paths, you can see the magnificent carved details on the walls that have been preserved for centuries. I especially remember the moment when I found myself under huge trees, the roots of which are wrapped around ancient stone structures. It's really a unique sight! The staff at the temple is very friendly and always ready to help with questions. I recommend taking a guided tour — they will tell you a lot of interesting things about the history and significance of this place. If you are looking for a place where you can enjoy the beauty of nature and ancient architecture, be sure to visit Ta Prom. This place leaves an unforgettable impression and immerses in the atmosphere of Khmer culture. I will definitely come back again!

The famous Cambodian temple of Ta Prohm is one of the most monumental buildings located on the territory of the Hindu complex of Angkor. The ancient temple, which is now in a dilapidated state, is surrounded by dense jungle thickets. The construction of the temple, built in the baronial style, considered traditional for the Khmer, was completed in 1186. The construction of the Ta-Prohm was carried out by order of King Jayavarman VII of the Khmer Empire, who thereby sought to perpetuate the memory of his mother. During its heyday, the temple complex covered an area of 730 square kilometers, on which 260 statues of Hindu gods, covered with gilding, were installed, 39 towers were built, and hundreds of stone buildings were erected for the residence of servants. The perimeter of the complex was surrounded by a wall, which has not been preserved to this day. For hundreds of years, the jungle advancing on the temple has changed its architecture beyond recognition, so it is quite difficult for travelers to imagine what the Temple was like several centuries ago. In the middle of the last century, scientists and archaeologists decided that it was necessary to restore the historical monument. In 1992, the temple complex was protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. At the same time, restoration work was launched.

It takes a lot more knowledge to describe these temples. And a good (rather excellent) guide. Everything that our Sasha told us was great. There's only one drawback- there are a lot of temples, everything is mixed up and I don't remember a damn thing But Cambodia is beautiful.

It is very different from other temples that are located on the territory. Trees that grow as if in walls, it was not for nothing that he was chosen for filming Lara Croft. How nature can be combined with architecture.

The temple gained special fame due to the symbiosis of stone buildings and trees entangling them, which gradually destroy the temple, but do it so beautifully and organically. The views are really fascinating. The shooting of the notorious film with Angelina Jolie brought wide recognition to the temple. Tourists even began to call the temple by her name.
