Fascinating Facts About Angkor Wat - The Largest Religious Monument in the World

Angkor Wat is a temple complex in Cambodia and is considered the largest religious monument in the world.

The temple is dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu, but it was later converted to a Buddhist temple.

The temple complex covers an area of about 162.6 hectares (402 acres) and includes several temples, towers, moats, and reservoirs.

The central tower of Angkor Wat is about 213 feet (65 meters) tall, making it the tallest structure in the complex.

Angkor Wat was abandoned in the 15th century and fell into disrepair until it was rediscovered by French explorers in the 19th century.

The temple complex attracts millions of visitors each year and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Angkor Wat has been the subject of many archaeological and conservation efforts, including a partnership between Cambodia and India to restore the temple complex.
