This, one of the largest of all Khmer cities, was founded by
Jayavarman VII and probably remained the capital until the 17th century. For
most visitors, the first sight of this monumental construction is the
magnificent S Gate, with its towers with four faces pointing each of the
cardinal directions and elephants, preceded by the no less impressive avenue of
gods and asuras lining the bridge across the moat.
