Phnom Banan, also known as Wat Banan, is an ancient site located around 20 km south of Battambang. From its eastern side, there is a platform with naga (snake) balustrade before a staircase flanked by lions rising 400m to the grand temple featuring five ancient towers.
It’s thought that the site was originally founded in the 11th century and later redeveloped in the 12-13th century.
At the top, there are beautiful views over the plains below.
