A sightseeing must on any trip to Cambodia are the historical
Temples of Angkor, set in the heart of the ancient Khmer Empire.
Built between the 9th and 13th centuries, more than 100 temples
have been uncovered and stand testament to this ancient
civilisation and one of the biggest cities of its time. Angkor Wat
is the largest religious monument ever built, an impressive Hindu
temple surrounded by a moat, and acknowledged as one of the wonders
of the world. The walled Royal City of Angkor Thom is home to the
Bayon Temple and its huge stone faces, another fascinating
attraction.
