Angkor Thom (Big Angkor)
The Angkor Thom is a moated royal city, and had been the capital of
the Angkorian empire. After Jayavarman VII succeeded in recapturing the
Angkorian capital from the Cham invaders in 1181, he started the
construction of a massive building across the empire just to protect his
city. The current look of the Angkor Thom is same as was in those days.
You can enter from any of the five entrances to the city.
