The best known in Cambodia
-
Angkor Thom
The last and longest lasting capital of the Khmer Empire, a walled royal city founded in the late 12th century by Jayavarman VII. Five gates lined with stone figures lead into the city, which holds the Bayon, Baphuon and the royal terraces.
-
Angkor Wat
A temple complex near Siem Reap, built in the early 12th century by King Suryavarman II as a Hindu temple to Vishnu and later used as a Buddhist temple. Its five lotus shaped towers and miles of carved bas reliefs make it the largest religious monument in the world.
-
Banteay Kdei
A Buddhist temple southeast of Ta Prohm, built mostly in the late 12th century under Jayavarman VII. Its name means Citadel of Monks' Cells, and its mazelike galleries are partly ruined and overgrown.
-
Banteay Samre
A temple east of the East Baray, built in the reign of Suryavarman II in the style of Angkor Wat. It is compact and well preserved, with a moat around the central sanctuary.
-
Banteay Srei
A small 10th century temple dedicated to Shiva and Parvati, about 25 kilometres from the main Angkor group. It is built of pink sandstone and is famous for the depth and fineness of its carved decoration.

Baphuon
A temple mountain in Angkor Thom, built in the 11th century and dedicated to Shiva. It was taken apart stone by stone for restoration, a long project interrupted by civil war, and reopened to visitors in 2011.
-
Bayon
A Buddhist temple at the centre of Angkor Thom, built in the late 12th or early 13th century under King Jayavarman VII. It is known for its many towers carved with huge smiling faces and for its detailed bas reliefs of daily life and battles.
