Ta Keo

Constructed at the end of the 10th century – early 11th century by king Jayavarman V (968-1001). Religion: Hindu (dedicated to Shiva). Art style: Kleang.
Ta Keo is one of the great temple-mountains at Angkor. It was never completed and reason is unknown, although the death of the king may well have had something to do with it. The temple rises to a height of 22m to the sky, giving an impression of strength and power. An innovation at Ta Kao is a porch at each cardinal point on the five towers of the top level. Ta Keo was the first temple built entirely in sandstone as such serves as a milestone in Khmer history.
