In the city of Angkor Thom you will find the wonderful Temple of Bayón. It is provided with 54 towers in whole, each one with four heads that represent four points of the compass. The carved faces belong to Jayavarman VII, the king who constructed the city. This city was the last capital of the empire Khmer.

Other of the most well-known temples, especially because in him the movie Tomb Raider was filmed, is the Temple Ta Prohm. In contrast to other temples, the nature has grown between his walls, as what it has a magic character.
