Cambodia
/ Phnom Penh / Wat Phnom
On a hill
in the northern part of Phnom Penh lies Wat Phnom,
after which the Cambodian capital is named. The Wat was built
in 1372 and was restored or reconstructed in 1434, 1890, 1894
and 1926. Wat Phnom is much favoured by the inhabitants
of the city as it is considered the most appropriate place for
prayer and small offerings, given in order to influence one's
own fate.
