Silver Pagoda

The Royal Palace is lived in by the actual king and we can only visit the gardens and the Silver Pagoda. The pagoda’s floor is made of 5000 silver slates ( 1 kilo each ) It has been preserved by the Khmers rouges but looted under Pol Pot and only 40% of the treasures remain , still enough to measure the richness of the civilisation and the quality of the craftsmen.Along the enclosing walls we can admire a colossal fresco reporting the epic poem Ramayana .
