Banon

Banon lies in the Battambang country of northwestern Cambodia, near the hill temple of Phnom Banan. Five Khmer towers crown the height above the surrounding plain. Founded in the eleventh century, the sanctuary was rebuilt or repaired in later centuries, leaving elements from different periods of Khmer art. Its stone galleries and inscriptions bear witness to a religious centre older than the towns that later grew around the Sangkae River.
