Beng Mealea (997 words)
The track to the Beng Mealea turns right from the Grand Circuit between Prasat Kravan and Srah Srang at 10 kilometres from Siem Reap, a little after the 12 kilometre marker stone.
Beng Mealea is one of the largest ensembles in the Angkor region, covering an area - within its 45m.00 wide moats that cover a distance of 4,200m all around - of 108 hectares, and comparable therefore to the most imposing temples of the capital.
At Beng Mealea the galleries appear for the first time with the vaults supported on one side by a back wall and on the other by rows of pillars - a particularly favourable arrangement for the execution of bas-reliefs in the best conditions of lighting and presentation - as at Angkor Wat and the Bayon.
Siem Reap (2404 words)
Beng Mealea is a spectacular sight to behold, one of the most mysterious temples at Angkor, as nature has well and truly run riot here.
Beng Mealea lies at the centre of an ancient Angkorian road connecting Angkor Thom and Preah Khan and Preah Vihear Province.
Beng Mealea is about 40km east of the Bayon (as the crow flies) and 6.5km southeast of Phnom Kulen.
