Angkor Thom, located in present day Cambodia, was the
last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer empire. It was established in
the late twelfth century by King Jayavarman VII. It covers an area of 9 km²,
within which are located several monuments from earlier eras as well as those
established by Jayavarman and his successors. At the centre of the city is
Jayavarman's state temple, the Bayon, with the other major sites clustered
around the Victory Square immediately to the north.
