Tuol Sleng Museum ( S-21 Prison )
In 1975, Toul Svay Prey High school was taken over by Pol Pot’s security forces and turned into a prison ( S-21). This soon became the largest centre of detention and torture in the country. Between 1975 and 1978 more than 17,000 people held at S -21 were taken to the killing fields of Choeung. S-21 has been turned into the Toul Sleng Museum which serves as a testament to the crimes of the Khmer Rouge. Like the Nazis , the Khmer Rouge leader were meticulous in keeping records of their barbarism. Each prisoner who passed through S-21 was photographed, sometimes before and after torture. The museum displays include room after room of harrowing black and white photographs, virtually all of the men, women, and children pictured were later killed. You can tell which year a picture was taken by the style of number-board that appears on the prisoner’s chest. Several foreigners from Australia , New Zealand and American were also held at S-21 before being murdered.
Choeung Ek Execution ( Killing Field )
Approximately 15km southwest of the city Center is one of the many sites of Khmer Rouge mass executions. The exhumed skulls of some 8,000 souls, arranged by sex and age, are displayed behind glass panels in the Memorial Stupa, which was erected in 1988. Although some were killed and buried at Toul Sleng, most victims were driven out to Choeung Ek at night by truck. Some were made to dig their own graves before being clubbed to death with any heavy instrument available.
Royal Palace & Silver Pagoda
Built in 1866, the site contains various buildings of interest, including the Khmer-style Throne Hall, now used for special ceremonial occasions. South of the Throne Hall are the Royal Treasury and the Villa of Napoleon III, built in Egypt in 1866, for the opening of the Suez Canal , and was later presented to the Cambodian king as a gift.
