Plan of Preah Pithu temples

Preah Pithu (Khmer: ប្រាសាទព្រះពិធូរ, Prasat Preăh Pĭthu [praːsaːt prĕəh pi tʰuː]) is a group of five temples at Angkor, Cambodia. In fact they were in all probability not designed as a group. Despite their ruined state, the remains have good decorative carving and their semi-wooded setting is attractive and peaceful.[1]
