Prasat Wat Athvea
Wat Althea, also called Prasat Vat Althea, is a 12th century Hindu temple in Angkor, Cambodia, with an active Buddhist temple and burial ground, located next to the ancient walled structure. It is located 6 km. south of Siem Reap, west of the road, leading to the Tonle Sap. The temple's design and distinctive style of its devata (sacred female images) indicate that it was built during the reign of King Suryavarman II (circa 1115-1150 AD), who also built Angkor Wat.
