Fortress sights in Northwestern Cambodia

1. Banteay Top

   • Banteay Chhmar & Banteay Top, Cambodia
   • Sights › Fortress

   Constructed around the same time as Banteay Chhmar, it may be a tribute to the army of Jayavarman VII, which confirmed Khmer dominance over the region by conclusively defeating the Chams. One of the damaged towers looks decidedly precarious, like a bony finger pointing skyward. The turn-off from NH69, marked by a stone plinth with gold inscription, is 9km south of Banteay Chhmar.
