Cambodia - Beng Melea (No longer listed)

"The temple of Beng Meala is located on the main axis joining Angkor to the Prah Khan of Kompong Svay. The Beng Mealea site is one of the largest complexes in the Angkor region since it covers an area of ​​108 hectares within its 45-meter wide and 4,200-meter-deep ponds. Very close in its composition to Angkor Wat (cruciform courtyard), it presents remarkable features: - presence between the second and third enclosure (south side) of annex buildings;- development of pavements on columns."

I bought this rather expensive postcard of Beng Melea in Siem Reap, Cambodia on March 2017.
