The entrance to Angkor Wat.


Angkor Wat is a former Hindu temple that has been a buddhist temple for the last five centuries.


The temple is the symbol of Cambodia and is on the country's flag as the only building to appear on a flag. 


Angkor Wat was built in the early 12th century.

The building is lined with thousands of apsaras or mystical women carved into the stone.
