Angkor is one of the main archaeological sites of South-East Asia.
Stretching over some 400 square kilometres, including forested area,
the Angkor Archeological Park contains the splendid remains of the different
capitals of the Khmer Empire, from the 9th to the 15th centuries, including
the famous temple of Angkor Wat and, at Angkor Thom, the Bayon temple with
its countless sculpted decorations. UNESCO has set up a wide-ranging
programme to safeguard this symbolic site and its surroundings.
