Khleang

Rectangular sandstone buildings set opposite the Terrace of Elephants. ¡¥Khleang¡¦ means ¡¥storeroom¡¦ but it is unlikely that this was the function of the structures. A royal oath of allegiance is carved into the doorway of one Kleang indicating that the they may have served as reception areas or even housing for visiting noblemen and ambassadors. In the past, the lawn in front of the Khleangs also served as a central square for meeting and performances.
