Angkor Wat (Khmer: អង្គរវត្ត or The Majestic Temple) rises above Cambodia as the largest religious monument globally, spanning a vast 162.6 hectares (1,626,000 m2; 402 acres) of sacred ground.[5] Born from Hindu tradition, it was transformed into a Buddhist temple in the 12th century's final days. Suryavarman II, the visionary Khmer King, commissioned Angkor Wat's construction in Yaśodharapura (Khmer: យសោធរបុរៈ) during the early 12th century. Breaking with his predecessors' Shaiva legacy, Suryavarman II dedicated Angkor Wat to Vishnu. A true masterpiece of Khmer architecture, it soars above all others as a temple complex that has retained its significance from inception. As Cambodia's national icon, Angkor Wat adorns the country's flag and draws millions of visitors worldwide each year, making it Cambodia's crown jewel and undisputed gem.
