'Temple complex at Angkor Wat' (NW
Cambodia), the crowning work of Khmer architecture.
About 1,700 yards long by 1,500 yards wide, it is the world's largest religious
structure.
Dedicated to Vishnu, it was built in the 12th Century by Suryavarman II. The
Wat, an
artificial mountain originally surrounded by a vast external wall and moat,
rises in three
enclosures toward a flat summit. The five remaining towers (shrines) at the
summit are
composed of the repetitive diminishing tiers typical of Asian architecture.
