Roluos Group

Roluos Group Guide

Roluos Group 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.
