• Royal Palace - The Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda are among the most impressive structures in the capital, showcasing some of the finest examples of Khmer architecture. Originally built in 1866 by the French, the Royal Palace is the residence of the current King Sihamoni. The adjacent Silver Pagoda is unique in its own right, with a floor made up of 5,329 solid silver tiles, which gives the building its name. It houses numerous gold and jeweled Buddha statues, including the highly valued 17th-century baccarat crystal Buddha. Other significant buildings within the compound include Wat Preah Keo Morokat, where Royal ceremonies are held, and stupas like King Ang Doung Stupa, the burial site of former King Norodom.

Its collection comprises over 14,000 pieces, spanning from prehistoric times to periods before, during, and after the Khmer Empire, which at its peak extended from Thailand, across present-day Cambodia, to southern Vietnam. The National Museum of Cambodia is located next to the Royal University of Fine Arts on the west side of the museum.

Welcome to Phnom Penh! The capital city of Cambodia lies at the confluence of the Mekong, Tonle Sap and Bassac rivers. Phnom Penh was regarded by many as the most beautiful of all the French-built cities in Indochina and so was formerly called the pearl of Indochina. It was a bustling commercial center during the French occupation, but the years of war crushed it to a field of ruins before becoming a ghost-city during the Khmer Rouges period. It’s only since the 90’s that the city really began to recover and today it has reestablished itself as the political and financial center of the country. Its rich historical past can be traced to some Khmer and French influence evidences such as many ornate Khmer–style temples and some grand colonial buildings.
