Introduction
Banteay Srei is located near Phnom Kulen in Northeast Angkor Thom. It is a unique and exquisite building among Angkor's monuments. It is famous for its bright colors and exquisite reliefs. It is known as the “Gem of Angkor Art”. The name Banteay Srei means “women's castle”, which is supposed to have been constructed and carved by women. Its Central Tower and large library contain a large number of statues. Its walls, columns and other architectural surfaces are full of reliefs, complex shapes and soft lines. Unlike the green sandstones used in most of the Angkor monuments, Banteay Srei was built using Khmer-specific red clay, which is extremely colorful and keeps the carvings intact.

This building far from the Angkor complex is simply exquisite, unlike other temples, the whole building is built in red sandstone, the building area is not big, but it is worth watching.
The smallest, but amazing temple among other temples of Angkor Watt complex. Stone carvings are breathtaking. We included the visit of this temple with the trip to National Park. I recommend to go there early in the morning at 8 am, to have time to enjoy that beauty without crowds of tourists. they arrive there at around 8:30. No need to pay additional fee, your ticket for Angkor complex is active there. If you have one more day in Siem Reap - visit this place and you will not regret:)
There are no words to describe how big and magnificent this temple is! It is very impressive and huge! I am happy to have seen it!
Simply beautiful and rich. You must stop here and take close looks at the temples, the craft is totally out of this world...
Also know as pink temple, build in 12 century and the stone carbing are perfect. incredibel place and witnes of the Kmer empire beauty
History buried in the forest. Worth going. Not as crowd as other tourist sites and you can walk freely around.
