Prasat Kravan
ប្រាសាទក្រវ៉ាន់ (Prasat Kravan)
A 10th-century temple of five red-brick towers, with rare brick carvings of Vishnu and Lakshmi inside. It is a stop on the small circuit.
Prasat Kravan was built in 921 and consists of five red-brick towers in a row. Its exterior is plain, but the highlights are inside. The inner walls of the central tower are carved with Vishnu striding across the universe in three steps and Vishnu riding Garuda, among other images. The north tower bears a carving of Lakshmi. Brick reliefs like these are extremely rare in Angkor. The temple was restored by the École française d'Extrême-Orient in the 1960s. It lies south of the Royal Bath, and the small circuit usually stops here. The Angkor Pass is valid for entry, and a visit takes about 20 to 30 minutes.
