Prasat Prei Monti (Khmer: ប្រាសាទព្រៃមន្ទីរ), dating to the 9th-10th century is part of the Roluos group of temples located east of Siem Reap. It is a small site featuring three brick towers built atop a common sandstone base. There is also a small decorated stone basin at the site entrance.
While the temple is not large, the area is. Prei Monti covers an area of about 800 x 500 m defined by an outer moat likely forming a citadel or perhaps even a royal palace of Indravarman I.
