PRASAT HIN MUEANG TAM

Built at the end of the ^10th century, this temple was dedicated to the worship of the Hindu pantheon god Shiva. Facing east, it was built at the foot of a hill and is just as spectacular as Wat Phanom Rung, 4 km away, but in a different style. The sanctuary's four doors are oriented according to the points of the compass. Three of them still have their original lintels. The main courtyard houses laterite prang (tower-like pavilions). The complex also includes pools and libraries.
