Angkor Wat

The most famous of all the temples in Angkor, and the one that gave it it's name is Angkor Wat (which translates to "City Temple"). As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre since its foundation — first Hindu, dedicated to the god Vishnu, then Buddhist. It is the world's largest religious building. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors. Nearly 750,000 people visit Angkor Wat each year.
