Phnom
On
a hill in the northern part of Phnom Penh lies Wat
Phnom, after which the Cambodian capital is
named. The Wat was built in 1372 and was restored or
reconstructed in 1434, 1890, 1894 and 1926. Wat Phnom
is much favoured by the inhabitants of the city as it
is considered the most appropriate place for prayer
and small offerings, given in order to influence one's
own fate.
