The architecture of Cambodian buildings is very unique. While some buildings are very intricate, others are more simple. For example, the homes of the citizens is very simple and is made out of straws or the bamboo with the roof covered with the thatched leaves of dry coconut palms. Most homes are either one to two rooms. The bigger, monumental buildings are large and often have a golden colored roof. The famous buildings are often the homes of dignitaries or royals. Some famous buildings include the National Museum of Cambodia and Choeung Ek Memorial.
