Angkor Thom temples






















Angkor Thom (Khmer: អង្គរធំ; literally: "Great City"), (alternate name: Nokor Thom, Khmer: នគរធំ) located in present-day Cambodia, was the last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer empire. It was established in the late twelfth century by King Jayavarman VII.[1]:378–382[2]:170 It covers an area of 9 km², within which are located several monuments from earlier eras as well as those established by Jayavarman and his successors. At the centre of the city is Jayavarman's state temple, the Bayon, with the other major sites clustered around the Victory Square immediately to the north.
