It was built in the early 12th century by the Hindu king [[Suryavarman II]] as his state temple and capital city, dedicated to the god [[Vishnu]]. Later, it became a Buddhist site. It is the largest religious monument in the world. Angkor fell into decline after the 14th century.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.angkor-visit.com/angkor_wat.html |title=Angkor Temple Guide |access-date=October 31, 2010 |year=2008 |publisher=Angkor Temple Guide}}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} ==Other websites== {{Commons category|Angkor Wat}} * [http://www.autoriteapsara.org/en/angkor/temples_sites/temples/angkor_vat.html Angkor Wat - APSARA Authority Official Description] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080506101000/http://www.autoriteapsara.org/en/angkor/temples_sites/temples/angkor_vat.html |date=2008-05-06 }} * {{wikivoyage-inline|Angkor Archaeological Park}} {{Religion-stub}} {{WHSite}} {{Authority control}} {{coord|13|24|45|N|103|52|0|E|type:landmark_region:KH|display=title}} [[Category:Archaeological sites in Asia]] [[Category:Buddhist buildings]] [[Category:Hinduism]] [[Category:World Heritage Sites in Asia]] [[Category:Hindu temples]] [[Category:Buildings and structures in Asia]] [[Category:12th-century buildings and structures]] [[Category:Establishments in Cambodia]] [[Category:Siem Reap province]]
