Angkor Wat: The Largest Temple in the World
Angkor Wat is a temple city built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II during the early 12th century in Cambodia. The temple is famous for being the largest temple in the world measuring 1626 km2 (close to London).

Twenty-seven years after the death of Suryavarman II, the temple was sacked by the enemies of Khmer. When the new king Jayavarman VII restored the temple, he dedicated it to Buddhism because he felt abandoned by the Hindu gods. Therefore, several Hindu sculptures were replaced by Buddhist sculptures. Since then, Angkor Wat has never been completely abandoned, and it remained as an important pilgrimage site for Buddhists.
