Angkor Wat

Angkor is  archaeological site in what is now northwestern  Cambodia, just 4 miles (6 km) north of the modern town of  Siĕmréab. It was the capital of the  Khmer (Cambodian) empire from the 9th to the 15th century, a period that is considered the classical era of Cambodian history. Its most imposing monuments are  Angkor Wat , a temple complex built in the 12th century by  King Suryavarman II (reigned 1113– c. 1150), and  Angkor Thom, a temple complex built about 1200 by King  Jayavarman VII.
