Angkor

In a remote place of Cambodia, it took millions of rocks to build me and make me the biggest temples complex in the whole world, and one of the most beautiful: Angkor Wat . I was built by the Khmer kings in a process that lasts more than 4 centuries, but then I have been abandoned and forgotten. The jungle covered me for centuries, but about 150 years ago, a french man re-descover me, and I am becoming more and more popular since then. The site angkorwhat.net wants to be a complete source of information for who desire to know more about me, Angkor Wat, and, at the same time, a practical travel guide for who is planning a trip in this part of Cambodia. A big part is dedicated to Angkor myself, to my history and my temples. A gallery of more than 250 pictures will show the most significative temples, bas-reliefs and sculptures. You can visit me, Angkor, from the sky, using the satellite map and stay updated about me reading The Angkor Wat Blog . To visit me, you have to arrive in Cambodia first.
