Lonely Planet review for Banteay Srei

This 'Citadel of Women' dedicated to Shiva, is a stunning tour de force of classical art and the most ornate of all of the temples. Though it is relatively tiny in size compared to its mammoth counterparts, it has the most intricate carvings and is believed to be the instigator of the Khmer art movement. The detail is astounding and each doorway, each lintel and every wall is a masterpiece.

    One of the most beautiful and delicately carved temples in the region. Definitely worth the 1 hour excursion.
