 Terrace
of the Elephants is an impressive, two and a half-meter tall, 300 meter
long terrace wall adorned with carved elephants and garudas spanning the
front of Baphuon, Phimeanakas and the Royal Palace area at the heart of
Angkor Thom. The northern section of the wall displays some particularly
fine sculpture including the five headed horse and scenes of warriors
and dancers. Constructed in part by Jayavarman VII and extended by his
successor. The wall faces east so the best lighting for photography
before noon. The Terrace of the Leper King is at the north end of the
Terrace of the Elephants. |
