Phnom Penh grew as a Khmer and then French colonial center; 20th-century events—especially the Khmer Rouge period—left powerful sites like Tuol Sleng and Choeung Ek that are central to modern Cambodian history.
Conservation
Visitors should practice respectful tourism at memorial sites and minimize plastic waste; local NGOs encourage supporting community-run projects and responsible guides.
