Longvek or Lavek[a] (Khmer: លង្វែក, pronounced[luŋˈʋɛːk] or ល្វែក, pronounced[lʋɛːk]; lit.'Intersection or Crossroads') was a city in Cambodia. It was the second capital city during the Cambodia's Post-Angkor period which began after the Angkor era. The city was known to early European traders as "Cambodia".[1] The city used to serve as a center of the country's military. It was
a gathering point for people of knowledge including scholars and martial artists.[2]

Longvek was chosen by King Ang Chan I after the sacking of Angkor by the Siamese as a new capital because of its more readily defensible terrain. As a result, there was a time when Cambodia was often referred to as Longvek by foreign travellers. It was considered one of the greatest cities in Cambodia. After Ang Chan I defeated Sdach Korn he moved the capital city from Chaktomuk to Longvek in 1529. This new city was the capital of the Kingdom of Cambodia from 1529 to 1594 until the fall of Longvek.[3]
