ANGKOR THOM Constructed: Late 12^th – Early 13^th century C.E Religion: Buddism King: Jayavarman VII Style: Bayon Angkor Thom (big city) is a 3km walled and moated royal city and was the last capital of the Angkorian Empire.

There are five entrances (gates) to the city, one for each cardinal point, and the victory gate leading to the Royal palace area. Each gate is crowned with 4 giant faces.

ANGKOR WAT Constructed: Early - Mid 12^th century C.E Religion: Hinduism King: Suryavarman II Style: Angkor Wat Angkor Wat is visually, architecturally and artistically breathtaking. It is a massive three tiered pyramid crowned by five beehive-like towers rising 65 meters from ground level. Angkor Wat is the centerpiece of any visit to the temple of Angkor. At the apex of Khmer political and military dominance in the region, Suryavarman II constructed Angkor Wat in the form of a massive ‘temple-mountain’ dedicated to the Hindu god, Vishnu. It served as his state temple, through the temple’s uncommon westward orientation has led some to the suggest that it was constructed as Suryavarman II’s funerary temple. Angkor Wat is surrounded by a moat and an exterior wall measuring 1300x1500 meters. The temple itself is 1km square and consists of three levels surrounded by a central tower. The walls of the temple are covered inside and out with bas-reliefs and carvings. Nearly 2000 distinctively rendered Apsara carvings adorn the walls throughout the temple and represent some of the finest temples of Apsara carvings in Angkorian era art. But it is the exterior walls of the lower level that display the most extraordinary bas-reliefs, depicting stories and characters from Hindu mythology, and the historical wars of Suryavarman II. It is in the viewing of the bas-reliefs that a tour guide can be very helpfull. PHNOM BAKHENG Constructed: Late 9^th – Early 10^th century C.E Religion: Hindu King/Patron: Yasovarman Style: Bakheng The construction of this temple mountain on Phnom Bakheng (Bakheng Hill), the first major temple to be constructed in the Angkor area, marked the move of the capital of the Khmer empire from Rolous to Angkor in the late 9^th century AD. It served as Yasovarman I‘s state temple at the center of his new capital city Yasodharapura. The foundation of Bakheng is carved from the existing rock edifice rather than the laterite and earthfill of most other temples. Bakheng’s hilltop location makes it the most popular sunset location in the area, offering a view of the Baray Lake and a distant Angkor Wat in the jungle. Often overcrowded at sunset.
