A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Angor Archaeological Park covers a roughly 400 square meter area in the Siem Reap province in the north-west of Cambodia. It was once home to the successive capitals of the mighty Khmer Empire that ruled from the 9th<\/sup> to the 15th<\/sup> centuries. The monuments that you can see in the park today are a testament to the Khmers\u2019 wealth, power and engineering prowess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The monumental structures of Angkor, from famous temples to city gates, are huge and complex.
