Cambodia is home to Angkor Wat, an UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most important ancient monuments in Southeast Asia. The structure is a living reminder of the splendid Khmer Empire that once dominated the country. Impressive in size and detail, the temples and palaces of this medieval golden age were mysteriously abandoned only to be rediscovered centuries later as ruins, rendered even more enigmatic by the interwoven encroachment of forest and trees.
