Ta Phrom was built in the 12th century by King Jayavarvan VII, and dedicated to his mother. The trees have grown around and through the remains, and tower above the temple remains. Archaeologists have left the vegetation as is so you can see how it looked when it was rediscovered, and how other Angkor temples looked before restoration.
