HTML clipboardThe main evidence for Khmer architecture, and
ultimately for Khmer civilization, however, remains the religious buildings,
considerable in number and extremely varied in size. They were destined for the
immortal gods, and as they were built of the durable materials of brick,
laterite and sandstone, many have survived to the present day. They were usually
surrounded by enclosures to protect them from evil powers, but confusion has
often arisen as to which is a temple enclosure and which is that of the town of
which the temple was a part.
