Banteay Ampil Temple is one of the lesser-known temples of Siem Reap located some 30km out of town, almost 40km from Angkor Wat, and around 20km by road from Chau Srei Vibol Temple. Much like the nearby Chau Srei Vibol, it is rarely visited.
It is a walled temple with three gopuras (gates) and a central sanctuary that is flanked by a library on either side. It has some partially preserved and very unique pediments.
This site is located along the section of the ancient Royal Road that led from Angkor to Beng Mealea.
Nearby there are two ancient bridges, Spean Ta Yang and Spean Thma Bay Kriem.
