Angkor Wat








The world's largest religious monument

A completely realised microcosm of the Hindu universe, culminating in the five peaks of Mount Meru
Architectural masterpiece in fine proportions and rich in detail; the apogee of classiacal Khmer construction.

Angor Wat the "the city that became a pagoda" was not only the grandest and most sublime of the Khmer temples, but also a city in its own right. It was built in the 12th century and it's dedicated to Vishnu.
