The Silver Pagoda is located on the south side of the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh and is the official temple of the King of Cambodia. The temple's full official name is Preah Vihear Preah Keo Morakot, but is commonly referred to as Wat Preah Keo. Its main building houses many national treasures such as a small 17th-century baccarat crystal Buddha and a life-sized gold Maitreya Buddha decorated with 9,584 diamonds, the largest of which weighs 25 carats. 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 remodelled with Italian marble.
