Visible from the Mekong River is the opulent Royal Palace complex in Phnom Penh. This home to the Cambodian kings was initially constructed in the 1860s. Walled in with the Khemarin palace is the Silver Pagoda, the Moonlight Pavilion and the Preah Thineang Dheva Vinnichay Mohai Moha Prasat or Throne Hall for short. It was rebuilt in 1917 and is used for royal ceremonies. On top of the 193 foot golden spire is the image of Brahma, a Hindu god and father of all humans.
