Angkor Wat - The architecture and layout of the successive capitals demonstrate a high level of social order and ranking within the Khmer Empire.

Bayon Temple - The Smiling Face at Bayon, the architectural scale and composition of the Bayon exude grandeur in every aspect. Its elements juxtapose each other to create balance and harmony, and there are more than 200 large faces carved on the 54 towers, giving this temple its majestic character.

Angkor Thom - Angkor Thom is undeniably an expression of the highest genius. It is, in three dimensions and on a scale worthy of an entire nation, the materialization of Buddhist cosmology, representing ideas that only great painters would dare to portray.

Baphuon Temple - Baphuon is a temple that stands on a rectangular sandstone base with five levels that are approximately the same size, rather than the more common form of successively smaller levels. The first, second, and third levels are surrounded by sandstone galleries. Baphuon is the first structure in which stone galleries with a central tower appear.

Phimeanakas - Phimeanakas temple is situated near the center of the area enclosed by the walls of the Royal Palace. It must originally have been crowned with a golden pinnacle, as Zhou Daguan described it as the Tower of Gold. The temple is built of roughly hewn sandstone blocks and has little decoration.

Terrace of the Elephants - The elephants are ridden by servants and princes, and tread as quietly as if they were on an excursive promenade. The steps of even length have no respect for any obstacle. The forest in which they travel is impenetrable to all but tiny creatures, able to squeeze their smallness between the fissures of the undergrowth and to the biggest animals, which crush chasms for their passage in the virgin vegetation.

Terrace of the Leper King - The terrace of the Leper King carries on the theme of grandeur that characterizes the building during Jayavarman VII’s reign. It is faced with dramatic bas-reliefs, both on the interior and exterior.

Ta Nei Temple - Ta Nei is a late 12th-century stone temple in Angkor, Cambodia. Built during the reign of King Jayavarman VII, it is near the northwest corner of the East Baray, a large holy reservoir. It was dedicated to the Buddha.

Ta Prohm Temple - Ta Prohm is the undisputed capital of the kingdom of the Trees. It has been left untouched by archaeologists except for the clearing of a path for visitors and structural strengthening to stave off further deterioration.

Phnom Bakheng - Phnom Bakheng is the highest temple in the Angkor Archaeological Park, offering the best panoramic views of the whole area. Phnom Bakheng is a temple mountain in honor of the Hindu god Shiva and one of the oldest temples in the Angkor Archaeological Park.
