Site Size & Condition: Medium Ruin Sambor Prei Kuk C7 (សំបូរព្រៃគុក - Pronounced Som-bore P'rei Kok!)

This east-facing brick tower lies in the forest to the north of Prasat Tao and west of Prasat Sambor (Sambor). (It is actually closer to the latter but earlier archaeologists, in their wisdom, assigned a C number to the shrine.) One intact, albeit truncated tower, can be seen along with 4 brick mounds forming a very approximate north-south alignment.

The intact shrine has an eastern porch and displays brick reliefs including the iconic 'flying palaces'.
