Angkor Wat covers an area of 162.6 hectares. On the outer perimeter of the temple is a moat measuring 1.3 km by 1.5 km. On the inside of the moat the perimeter wall is 4.5 metres tall.

Within the walled part of the temple complex is a temple with five towers representing the peaks of Mount Mera, which is a mountain from Hindu Mythology believed to exist at the centre of the world. The large galleries are in alignment with each of the towers adorned by impressive reliefs of the saga of Hindi mythology.

The temple was originally built in the earlier part of the 12th Century as a Hindu temple dedicated to the God Vishnu, although towards the end of the 12th Century Angkor Wat was re-purposed as a Buddhist temple and images of the Lord Buddhist appear alongside images of Vishnu and other Hindu deities.
