The south gate (gopura) of the third enclosure of Preah Khan of Kampong Svay is similar to that of the north, east and west, featuring three towers offering a large central entrance flanked by lesser entries on either side. To its south, a grand causeway that’s lined with sandstone and carved with reliefs of Hamsa crosses the moat.
The three towers are joined by a gallery that featured columned windows and remnants of sandstone blocks can be seen blocking off some windows perhaps, something that’s also seen at the western gate.
