Angkor is one of the most important archaeological sites in Southeast Asia. The Angkor Archaeological Park covers an area of about 400 square kilometers, including forest areas, and preserves the magnificent remains of the capitals of the Khmer Empire from the 9th to the 15th century. These include the famous Angkor Wat and the Bayon Temple in Angkor Thom, which is decorated with countless sculptures. UNESCO has developed an extensive plan to protect this symbolic site and its surroundings.
