The Bayon is the second most well known temple after Angkor Wat in the Angkor complex located at the center of Angkor Thom city.
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.
Angkor served as the seat of the Khmer empire and flourished from approximately the 9th century to the 13th century.
Built in the late 12th or early 13th century as the official state temple of King Jayavarman VII, the Bayon temple is comprised of
54 towers with the smiling face of Avalokiteshvara.
Quite a few of the temples at Angkor have been restored and represent a most magnificent site of Khmer architecture including the world's largest single religious monument, the breathtaking Angkor Wat.
