Ta Prohm Temple in Siemreap of Cambodia. It's a fascinating temple complex built in the 12th century in the Angkor region. Ta Prohm is renowned for its atmospheric beauty, with ancient trees intertwining with the temple ruins, creating a stunning blend of nature and architecture. It gained further fame after being featured in the movie "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider."

Ta Prohm Temple, originally known as Rajavihara, was built by the Khmer King Jayavarman VII in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. It was dedicated to the king's mother and served as a Mahayana Buddhist monastery and university.

What sets Ta Prohm apart is its unique architectural style and the way it has been left largely unrestored, allowing nature to reclaim the site. The temple is enveloped by massive fig and silk-cotton trees, their roots winding through the ruins, giving it a surreal, overgrown appearance.
