This romantic temple where nature and men work together to make an amazing exhibition, also was constructed by Jayavarman VII in honour of his mother. Everything is monument in this temple, sculptures, statues, ancient banians (tropical fig trees), and the general effect sets a good example of the conditions in which it was found when the first adventurers discovered it in the 19th century. Ta Prohm was the centre of government of a 60 ha city. Houses of near 100 000 people, do not exist anymore because it was built with wood, bamboo, leaves and reeds.
