The Silver Pagoda, officially known as Wat Ubosoth Ratanaram, is a structure found within the Royal Palace complex. The pagoda, or vihara, houses many national treasures, such as the famed green crystal Buddha statue, also known as the Emerald Buddha. Other treasures include gold and jewels; the pagoda has also been inlaid with over 5,000 silver tiles and Italian marble. An aspect of the pagoda that is most popular with visitors are the murals that surround the structure. The murals were painted by Cambodian artists between 1903 and 1904 and depict scenes from Reamker, a Cambodia poem based on the Hindu god Rama.
