Description

Bayon Temple is located in the center of the ancient city of Angkor Thom, capital of the Khmer rulers at the beginning of the 13th century.
Prasat Bàyon was built, like the other Ta Prohm, Banteay Kdei or Neak Pean temples, during the reign of the Khmer king Jayavarman VII, follower of Mahāyāna Buddhism.
The architecture of the Bayon is of the temple-mountain type, just like the Bakong, Baphûon, Pre Rup, Ta Keo and Angkor Wat. The Bayon Temple gives a symbolic representation of the mythical Mount Meru, which offers an earthly visualization of the gods in Hindu and Buddhist mythology.
The Bayon, with its 54 stone towers with the monumental faces of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara, Buddha is impressive, its visit is easily accessible, but to admire some faces, you will have to take quite narrow stairs, but the view is worth it.
