The Bakong Temple in Cambodia is one of the most impressive examples of Khmer architecture. The Khmer Empire controlled the area that is the north of modern-day Cambodia for centuries before falling from power. The capital of this empire, Angkor, is famous for and home to many temples, the most famous of them being Angkor Wat. While Angkor Wat’s historical and cultural significance both for Cambodia and the world is not up for debate, it is a fact that it outshines many other impressive temples such as the Bakong Temple. However, the Bakong is centuries older than Angkor Wat and holds the title of being the first mountain temple in Angkor as well.
