Roluos Group, Angkor

The temple ruins of Lolei (29 February 2008)


Roluos Group (GPS: 13.33834, 103.97718) is the name given to a group of ancient Angkor monuments located in proximity to the present-day village of Roluos. There are three main ruins at Roluos that are frequented by visitors, namely Preah Ko, Bakong and Lolei.

The ruins of the Roluos Groups were temples that were constructed when the ancient Khmers created their first settlement in the Angkor region. That ancient kingdom at Roluos is called Hariharalaya.

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.
