Description
As one of the most important archaeological places in South-East Asia, Angkor Archaeological Park extends over 400 km2 and includes the splendid remains of successive capitals of Khmer Empire, crossing the 9th and the 15th century. The immovable, tangible heritage is located in Cambodia’s northern province of Siem Reap, and consists of forested area, hydraulic structures, as well as well-decorated temples such as Temple of Angkor Wat and the Bayon Temple. With impressive monuments, several different ancient urban plans and large water reservoirs, the site is a unique concentration of features testifying to an exceptional civilization. Temples as exemplars of Khmer architecture, are closely linked to their geographical context as well as being imbued with symbolic significance.
