Angkor Wat, Cambodia.

Angkor Wat, translates as City of Temples, in Khmer dialect. Built in the 12th Century, this is widely seen as the largest religious temple complex in the world. Originally a Hindu temple it soon became established as a Buddhist temple, and although it was never abandoned, the surrounding man made moat system, helped preserve it from the encroaching jungle surround, for centuries.
