Angkor Wat Temple in northern Cambodia

Angkor Wat ( Angkor Vat) was built for King Suryavarman II

in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city.

It is the largest and best-preserved temple at Angkor

and is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre since its foundation

- first Hindu ( dedicated to Vishnu ) - then Buddhist .

The temple is the epitome of the classical style of Khmer architecture

and has become a symbol of Cambodia appearing on the national flag.

Angkor Wat is the country's prime attraction for visitors.
