Founded by King Isanavarman I during the
seventh century, Sambo Prei Kuh was once the capital of Chenla known as
Isanapura, and was a religious center dedicated to the worship of Shiva.
Collectively, the complex consists of
more than a hundred temples built of solid bricks, laterite and
sandstone and from the remains. It is understood that several
successions of kings have maintained this site as their capital, each
time adding more temples and monuments to the capital city.
