     Siem Reap is a city with a clear adherence to its rich historical past. The city paved a long path from a small settlement through a period of French colonization to the capital of Siem Reap Province. The biggest part of today’s temples was built between 11^th and 12^th centuries, but public interest to the city arrived with the opening of the Angkor Tom.
