Preah Vihear Temple is an imposing temple situated on a promontory of the Dangrek Mountain range (length: 152m) and (width: 160m) at a height of 657m above sea level and 547m from the top to the flatland of Cambodia. Preah Vihear is arguably the most spectacular location of any Khmer site. The natural topography is ideal for an earthly representation of the heavenly cosmos, which the Khmer strove to build and worthy of a temple dedicated to Shiva, the "supreme being of the mountain". The temple is unusually oriented to the north, away from Cambodia. Based on the style of architecture, Preah Vihear was built over a period of some 300 years by various kings.
