Preah Palilay Temple

Constructed: 13^th century C.E. or later
Religion: Buddhist
Style: Post-Bayon

Picturesque sandstone and laterite tower in a cool, shaded forest setting, in the area behind the Terrace of the Leper King. The central tower is in rough condition but the eastern gopura displays some particularly nice Buddhist-themed carvings. The date of construction is a matter of some debate. Traditionally dated to the late 12^th/early 13^th century, but the Theravadan Buddhist themes of some of the carvings and some architectural features suggest a construction date in the late 13^th or 14^thcentury. The tower was rebuilt and modified in the post-Bayon period.
