Roluos Group: Ruins of an
island-temple built in the middle of a now dry baray,
Indratataka, the first large-scale baray constructed by a Khmer
king. Lolei consists of four brick towers on a double
laterite platform. It was the last major temple built at Roluos
before Yasovarman I moved the capital to the Angkor area. Though
the towers are in poor condition, there are some lintel carvings
in very good condition displaying the distinctively detailed
Preah Ko style. An active pagoda has been built amongst the
ruins. Of the Roluos Group ruins, allocate the least time
Lolei. |
