The Roluos Group lies south east of Angkor Wat and comprises of the three oldest temples during the 600-year Angkorian Period: Preah Ko, Bakong, Lolei. Roluos (known previously as Hariharayala) was established by King Jayavarman II as a capital of Khmer civilization and remained as the capital during the reign of his three successors. The three temples share similar architectural features – they are made up of square-shaped brick towers, and have gopuras (arched gateway) built as entrances to courtyards.
