Temple Complex

About This Attraction

Siem Reap Cambodia

Angkor Wat, located in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is one of the largest religious monuments in the world. Originally built in the early 12th century as a Hindu temple dedicated to Vishnu, it gradually transformed into a Buddhist temple by the end of the century. The complex is known for its grand architecture and extensive bas-reliefs. Visitors often marvel at its central tower, which stands over 65 meters tall. Angkor Wat opening hours are generally from 5:00 AM to 5:30 PM, allowing visitors to experience both sunrise and sunset views.

The temples design symbolizes Mount Meru, a sacred mountain in Hindu and Buddhist cosmology. Surrounded by a large moat, Angkor Wat covers an area of over 162 hectares. It features a series of galleries, towers, and courtyards that showcase ancient Khmer architecture. To make the most of your visit, its important to wear comfortable shoes and bring water due to the tropical climate. Guides are available for hire on-site if you wish to learn more about its history and significance.
