Angkor Wat is large walled temple within a moat covering an area of over 1.6 million square metres. At the centre of the temple are five towers arranged in a cross to represent the sacred Mount Meru, which in the Hindu belief system is the home of the gods. Between these central towers and the outer wall there are a series of courtyards which decrease in size as you approach the central towers.
