A tower of Angkor Wat

Angkor Wat its a three-tiered pyramid crowned by five lotus-like towers rising 65 meters from ground level. It was built for the king Suryavarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city, dedicated to the god Vishnu. The five central towers represent the peaks of the mythological Mount Meru, and the entire temple is a microcosm of the Hindu universe.
The modern name, Angkor Wat, means "City Temple".
