Site Size & Condition: Ancient Bridge Spean (ស្ពាន - Pronounced: Spien) one of the many historic bridges built by King Jayavarman VII that spans the Royal roads leading out from Angkor to the far stretches of the empire. This particular bridge is about 6-7m long and 6m wide. There is evidence of a pair of sandstone naga balustrades. The bridge is still standing, however there was no where to stand to take a clear photo as the area was surrounded by water.
