Silver Pagoda

The Silver Pagoda, also known as Wat Preah Keo Morakot, was built in the 19th century during the reign of King Norodom. Initially made of wood, it was reconstructed with concrete and marble in the 1960s under King Sihanouk’s direction. Named for its 5,000 silver tiles, each weighing over a kilogram, the pagoda is an enduring symbol of Cambodia’s religious devotion and royal heritage. Despite being partially damaged during the Khmer Rouge period, it has been carefully restored and remains a prominent site for national ceremonies and royal rituals.
