Angkor Wat, built for King Suryavrman II in the early 12th century, is currently the largest religious structure in the world. The outer wall, 1025 by 802 m and 4.5 m high, is surrounded by a 30 m apron of open ground and a moat 190 m wide. It is located in Angkor, Cambodia, and is just one of a series of temples located within a 40-miles radius.
