Angkor Wat is spread in a vast area measuring 162.6 hectares. It is the largest Hindu temple in the world. It was built in early 12th century by the Khmer Empire. It was initially dedicated to Lord Vishnu, but later in the same 12th century the temple was gradually transformed into a Buddhist worship place.

Angkor Wat is a symbol of Cambodia and it also appears in the country's national flag.
