Ancient Temples

Cambodia is home to many ancient temples. The most famous of these temples is Angkor Wat, one of the world’s must-see ancient sites with its spectacular temples. Built between 802 and 1432, Angkor Wat’s peak was during the medieval period when it was one of the world’s largest cities and the capital of the Khmer Empire. The most iconic structures here are Angkor Wat, the world’s largest religious building, and the Bayon, one of the world’s strangest temples, with its enigmatic collection of carved stone faces. Then there’s Ta Prohm, where wild nature has run riot over ancient carved masonry.
