Banteay Kdei, also called the Citadel of Monks' cells, is a Buddhist temple in Angkor, Cambodia. It was built from the mid-12th to early 13th centuries during the reign of Jayavarman VII, in the Bayon architectural style. The complex has two enclosure walls, concentric galleries, towers and an eastern cloister. It is dilapidated because of faulty construction and poor-quality sandstone, and is undergoing renovation.
