Prasat Bayon is a stunning temple located at the center of Angkor Thom, the ancient capital of the Khmer Empire. Built in the late 12th century by King Jayavarman VII, Bayon is renowned for its intricate design, particularly the large number of stone faces that adorn its towers. These faces are believed to represent the Buddha or possibly the king himself, symbolizing both divine protection and the king's power. The temple's unique, sprawling layout combines both Hindu and Buddhist elements, reflecting the period's religious transition.

Angkor Thom, which translates to "Great City," was established as the royal capital by King Jayavarman VII. It covers approximately 9 square kilometers and is enclosed by a massive square wall, with gates at each cardinal point. The city is home to several significant monuments, including the Bayon Temple, the Terrace of the Elephants, and the Terrace of the Leper King. Angkor Thom was designed as an impressive and fortified center of power, with grand structures built to demonstrate the might and grandeur of the Khmer Empire.

 

Today, both Bayon Temple and Angkor Thom remain integral parts of the Angkor Archaeological Park in Cambodia, attracting millions of visitors annually who marvel at the remarkable architecture, historical significance, and spiritual aura of these ancient landmarks.
