Located 200 meters northwest of Barong Temple, Bafang Temple is the national temple dedicated to Shiva built by King Udayadityavarman II of Zhenla in the middle of the 11th century. It is the center of the capital city at that time and is known by the French as "the largest and most complex three-dimensional building in the world". France has helped Cambodia to restore the Pafang Temple since 1960. However, due to the unrest in Cambodia, the relevant information was destroyed and the restoration work was interrupted. Because of the lack of technical information, many stones can no longer be placed in their original places. They can only lie on the square in front of the temple forever, as a witness of Cambodia's once glorious and modern turbulence.
