Siemereaip is a city that is part of the state of Cambodia and is the administrative center of the same province. In the beginning, Siemereap was only a village. It remained so until French researchers discovered Agincorch in the nineteenth century. From the time Angkor was placed under French jurisdiction (1907), Sérémérappe began to experience the early days of tourism. In 1929, The Grand Hotel d’Angkor opened its doors, and Angkors temples continued to be one of the leading landmarks of Asia in the late 1960s. In 1975, the Red Krommies moved the population of the above city to the countryside (and in much the same way they did with the rest of the residents of the Kamega cities, for that matter). The long civil war had a negative impact on the citys development and, as a result, it was in decline for a long time. It wasnt until the mid-1990s that Siem Reap slowly resurrected itself as a tourist destination. Today, Seymereap is certainly the fastest growing city in Cambodia. This city now serves as a small prelude to the Agincourt complexes. It is thanks to Angkor that Sègcourt has become a vibrant tourist center with modern architecture and hotels. Another small part of the citys achievement is that the city and its inhabitants have been able to preserve some of its traditional character (despite the enormous impact).
In addition to the Angkoran monuments, there are also about a dozen Buddhist shrines here. The most famous of these are Wat Baw, Wat Dhamnak, Wat Prehm Ratham, and Wat Kessararram. In the territory of the city there is a Mosulmanian community (there is a Madrasa and a church of Naachem). ×As for the Catholic community, there are about a hundred and fifty people (mostly Caucasians and Cambodians). There is also a chapel in Sejereapa, in the northern part of Sejereapa, and a church in the village. Various protestant groups are active throughout the city.
