Some of the Roluos temples are relatively well preserved. We started our visit, unfortunately with very grey weather, at Preach Ko, a late 9th century temple, with 6 brick towers that was built in the old capital Hariharalaya. We visited afterwards Bakong , it was the first temple-mountain, this configuration was adopted in the Angkor era later on. The temple was dedicated to Shiva, one of the Hindu Trinity gods ( the god of destruction and rebirth). Near by, was a modern Buddhist temple, still active today. The Mebon temple still holds some imposing limestone elephant sculptures.
