The
Silver Pagoda is a compound located on the north side of the
Royal Palace, Phnom Penh. It features a royal temple officially called
Preah Vihear Preah Keo Morakot but is commonly referred to as
Wat Preah Keo. Its main building houses many national treasures such as gold and jeweled Buddha statues. Most notable is a small 17th century baccarat crystal Buddha (the "Emerald Buddha" of Cambodia) and a near-life-size,
Maitreya Buddha encrusted with 9,584 diamonds dressed in royal regalia commissioned by King Sisowath. During King
Norodom Sihanouk's pre-Khmer Rouge reign, the Silver Pagoda was inlaid with more than 5,000 silver tiles and some of its outer facade was remodeled with Italian marble.
It is the most notable

Buddhist temple) in the Phnom Penh, and the official temple of the
King of Cambodia.
