The large, mountainous walled Queen's Palace faces east as do most Khmer temples. Stepping into the easternmost gopura (arch), a 67-meter-long paved walkway leads to the main complex of the Palace. The main complex is surrounded by a three-tiered Enclosure. The temple is in the innermost enclosure, and to the northeast and southeast of the temple are two small buildings commonly known as libraries. The third tier of the Enclosure is 110 meters long from east to west and 95 meters wide from north to south, and is built of ferruginous clay, with two gopuras at each end of the east-west axis. The mountainous walls of both qubros are no longer in place.
The Western Gopura, now in the collection of the Guimet National Museum of Asian Art in Paris, depicts the story of the two brothers, Sunda and Upasunda, who fought over the flying Tilottama in the Mahabharata, an epic poem of India. The mountainous walls of East Gopura are scattered on the ground, depicting the story of Siddha, the wife of Rama, who was preyed upon by demons in the Hindu epic Ramayana.
The trench within the compound is cut into north and south halves by the paved road along the east-west axis, encircling the second level of the compound.
The second level of the compound is surrounded by a ferro-alum soil wall 42 meters long from east to west and 38 meters wide from north to south, and the inner perimeter is a square brick wall with a side length of 24 meters, and the outer perimeter wall has two gopuras cut along the east-west axis.
The mountain-shaped wall of the western gopura of the outer wall is carved with the story of Rama helping the monkey king Shukriya to kill his brother Bolin, which comes from the ancient Indian epic "Ramayana", and on the right side of the sculpture is the scene of Prince Rama holding a bow and arrow to help the monkey king to shoot and kill his brother, the whole sculpture is exquisite.
The inner wall has collapsed, leaving only the eastern gopura and a brick shrine to the west; the outer (east-facing side) of the eastern gopura's mountain-shaped wall is carved with a dancing Shiva, and the inner with a durga. The compound has another corridor of ferruginous clay, which has now collapsed intermittently.
One of the pieces of relief in the corridor depicts Narasimha the sphinx tearing open the chest of the demon king Hiranyakasipu.
