In general, all of the temple ruins inside Angkor Archaeological Park can be categorized into three types:

Walled Temple Ruins



The walled temple ruins are typically occupying a large area and are bounded with moat. Four gopuras, or entrance pavilions, are built from each side of the square gallery for accessing to the main temple. These gopuras are large enough to allow an elephant or a car to pass through.

Temple-Mountain Ruins



Built akin to a mountain and equipped with four small gopuras, these single-towered temples are surrounded by moat also.

Ruins



These are the smallest terraced pyramid temples, which normally named as Prasats. They might not be interested by most travelers, however, might appear unique sometimes.
