Angkor Wat is the world's largest religious monument, a 12th-century Khmer temple-mountain dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu, built by King Suryavarman II and covering 401 acres of northwestern Cambodia. Its five lotus-shaped towers, perfectly reflected in the surrounding moat at sunrise, are the national symbol of Cambodia and one of the world's most breathtaking architectural achievements. The bas-reliefs extending around the outer gallery for 800 meters depict the entire Hindu cosmology in extraordinary detail.
Siem Reap · Cambodia
Angkor Thom was the last and most enduring capital of the Khmer Empire, a walled city of 9 sq km containing the Bayon temple with its 54 towers each carved with four serenely smiling stone faces of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. The royal city, built by Jayavarman VII around 1200 AD, also contains the Baphuon pyramid temple, the Terrace of Elephants, and the Terrace of the Leper King. Its South Gate entrance — a causeway flanked by gods and demons pulling a giant naga serpent — is one of Angkor's most spectacular approaches.
