It is a massive three-tiered pyramid crowned by five lotus-like towers rising 65 meters from ground level is surrounded by a moat and an exterior wall. All the walls of the temple are covered inside and out with bas-reliefs and carvings including nearly 2000 apsara carvings representing some of the finest examples of apsara carvings in Angkorian era art.
The ruins of Angkor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with temples numbering over 1000, are hidden amongst forests and farmland to the north of the Tonle Sap Lake outside the modern city of Siem Reap, Cambodia.
Quite a few of the temples at Angkor have been restored and represent a significant site of Khmer architecture.
