Angkor Wat

The last temple for today was the one that we were eager to visit.

Angkor Wat, the largest monument of the Angkor group and the best preserved is an architectural masterpiece. Its perfection in composition, balance, proportions, relief's and sculpture make it one of the finest monuments in the world.

It is generally accepted that Angkor Wat was a funeral temple for King Suryavarman II and oriented to the west to conform to the symbolism between the setting sun and death.

We spent nearly 2 hours here walking around this impressive temple site.Weiterlesen
