Spean Thma
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spean Thma at Angkor, Cambodia is known as the bridge of stone west of Ta Keo. It is one of the few Khmer empire era bridge to have survived to the modern day.
It was built on the former path of the Siem Reap river between Angkor Thom and the eastern baray and probably rebuilt after the khmer period (around 15th century). Il includes a lot of reused sandstone blocks.
The 14 narrow arches are 1.10 m wide.
Several other bridges on the same models are visible: in the Angkor site (Spean Memai) and at several locations of the former empire. On the road from Angkor to Beng Mealea, the Spean Praptos is one of the longest with 25 arches.
