Angkor Angkor Historic Sites in Cambodia

Angkor Wat

Angkor is located in Siem Reap Province, about 240 kilometers away from the capital Phnom Penh. It is a symbol of the Cambodian nation and is known as one of the four miracles in the East. The existing Angkor monuments mainly include the Angkor Royal City (Greater Angkor) and Angkor Wat (Little Angkor). From the 9th to the 15th century AD, Angkor was the royal capital of Cambodia. Angkor was founded in 802 AD and completed in 1201, which lasted 400 years. After the Siam army invaded in 1431, Angkor was severely damaged and the dynasty was forced to move the capital to Phnom Penh. After that, Angkor was abandoned and gradually submerged in the jungle. It was not until a French naturalist named Henry Muo discovered the Angkor monument in the 1860s. There are more than 600 Angkor monuments, distributed in forests with an area of 45 square kilometers. Great Angkor and Little Angkor are its main components, with many exquisite stupas and numerous stone carvings, which are spectacular. These pagodas are all made of huge stones, and some of them weigh more than 8 tons. The pagodas are carved with statues of various shapes, some of which are several meters high and vivid. In 1992, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee listed the entire Angkor monument as a World Cultural Heritage Site.
