Angkor Wat (Khmer: អង្គរវត្ត) is a temple in Siem Reap, Cambodia. It was built in the early 12th century by the Hindu king Suryavarman II as his state temple and capital city, built for the god Vishnu. Later, it became a Buddhist site. It is the largest religious building in the world. Angkor started to break down in the 14th century.[1]
