Angkor Wat (1113-1150 AD) pays homage to the sustainer of the Khmer cosmos, Vishu. Symbolizing Mount Meru, the center of the universe, it was built by Suryavarman II during the first half of the 12th century.
Angkor Wat, forming a rectangle of about 1,500 by 1,300 metres, covers an area – including its 190 metre wide moats – of nearly 200 hectares. The external enclosure wall defines an expanse of 1,025 metres by 800, or 82 hectares. It is the largest monument of the Angkor group.
Constructed to the south of the capital (Angkor Thom), Angkor Wat is sited in the south-east corner of the ancient city of Angkor – Yasodharapura – built by Yasovarman I, centred on Phnom Bakheng and which stretched between the Siem Reap river to the east and the dike of the Baray to the west.
Research has found that Angkor Wat is in fact a funerary temple, and the only one built during the life of the founding king – Suryavarman II – for his consecration, and probably also as a depository for his ashes.
