The building now serves as a museum and a memorial. Photos of some of the victims as well as paintings by a survivor hang on the walls. The complex has been preserved as the KR left it. A small hill crowned by an active water marks the legendary founding place of Phnom Penh. The hill is the site of constant activity, with a steady stream of the faithful trekking to the top and a constellation of vendors, visitors and motor taxies at the bottom.
Elephant ride is available.
The current temple was last rebuilt in 1926 and received a facelift in 1998. She built a temple in 1434 to house the sacred relics. Today, Wat Phnom remains the highest artificial hill in Phnom Penh and the center of many forms of leisure activity.
