  Baphuon Temple

  The Baphuon Temple is one of the most impressive monuments within the Angkor Archaeological Park, located in Angkor Thom near Siem Reap, Cambodia. Known as the "Tower of Bronze," it is an architectural marvel from the Khmer Empire that reflects the grandeur and ambition of 11th-century Angkorian architecture. Baphuon was built in the mid-11th century during the reign of King Udayadityavarman II (r. 1049–1065). Dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, it was originally constructed as a state temple and served as the centerpiece of Udayadityavarman II's capital. The Baphuon predates Angkor Thom and was constructed nearly 150 years before the nearby Bayon Temple. At the time, it was one of the largest temples in Angkor, second only to Angkor Wat in scale and importance. In the later centuries, under Buddhist influence, parts of the temple were modified. Notably, a massive reclining Buddha was added to the western side of the temple during the 16th century.
