This includes the Royal Palace and adjacent Silver Pagoda. Home to Cambodia's official royal residence, the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda grounds are sprinkled with regal structures, intimate temples, and murals that paint a picture of the country past. The Silver Pagoda is an ornate structure known as Wat Preah Keo, or ‘Temple of the Emerald Buddha'. Its floor is covered with five tonnes of silver spread across over 5,000 tiles.

Other exhibits include a wooden barge, bronze, and pottery from the Funan and Chenla, Indravarman and Angkor periods.Please note that visitors are required to keep their knees and shoulders covered at the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda.
