located about 20 km away from Angkor Wat in Cambodia.
Considered by many to be the jewel in the crown of Angkorian art, Banteay Srei is cut from stone of a pinkish hue and includes some of the finest stone carving anywhere on earth. Begun in AD 967, it is one of the smallest sites at Angkor, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in stature.The art gallery of Angkor, Banteay Srei, a Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva, is wonderfully well preserved and many of its carvings are three-dimensional.
Banteay Srei means ?Citadel of the Women? and it is said that it must have been built by a woman, as the elaborate carvings are supposedly too fine for the hand of a man.
