Site Size & Condition: Ancient Bridge Spean (ស្ពាន - Pronounced: Spien)

The site of one of the many historic bridges built by King Jayavarman VII along the ancient road leading to the capital. This particular bridge is today largely destroyed and replaced with another of recent construction although a number of scattered laterite blocks in the vicinity testify to the existence of a laterite bridge at this spot in ancient times.
