Located north of Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia, the capital city flourished between the 9th and 15th centuries. Perhaps the most famous site in Angkor is Angkor Wat, a vast temple complex built by Suryayarman II in the early 12th century to honor the Hindu god Vishnu. The temple complex is clearly visible in the above image as the small black frame just below the image center.
