How is Bayon different from Angkor Wat?

In reality, Angkor Wat is a temple city built in the 12th century. It is the best preserved and most complete of all the temple complexes in the area. Angkor Thom is a fortressed city-state from the 13th century, with multiple temples. The Temple of Bayon (the one with many faces) is at its heart.

Is Bayon part of Angkor Thom?

Originally the Bayon was designed to serve as the primary locus of the royal cult and to serve as Jayavarman's personal mausoleum; it stood at the center of Angkor Thom, the new capital that Jayavarman built.

Why is Bayon Temple famous?

The temple is best known for its many towers adorned with serene, smiling stone faces carved on all sides, which are commonly interpreted as representations of King Jayavarman VII and symbolize compassion and royal authority.

Is Bayon bigger than Angkor Wat?

The Bayon is far from being one of the larger Angkorian temples – it's dwarfed by Angkor Wat and other sites dating to the same king's reign are larger, such as the sprawling Banteay Chhmar – but it is one of the most intricate, complicated and indeed confusing of all period temples.
