West Gopura is the main entrance for most visitors to Angkor Wat. It is connected to the main road by a massive causeway. This causeway crosses the huge moat that encircles the Angkor Wat complex. On reaching the West Gopura, the causeway continues toward the temple proper.

The West Gopura is most people's first sight of Angkor Wat. It comprises a main prasat, or lotus tower, flanked on either sides by smaller prasats. All three of these prasats are in various stages of decay, but have since been restored, not not rebuilt to their original forms.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
