Siem Riep, Angor Wat

Angkor Wat lies 5.5 km north of the modern town of Siem Reap, and a short distance south and slightly east of the previous capital, which was centred at Baphuon. It is in an area of Cambodia where there is an important group of ancient structures. It is the southernmost of Angkor’s main sites. The initial design and construction of the temple took place in the first half of the 12th century. A magical place to visit and should be added to the “Wonders of the World.”
