The Bayon temple in Siem Reap is an outstanding and beautiful example of baroque Khmer architecture. A 10/10 for sure.

However, this temple was built in the 12th to 13th Centuries AD; so this thread doesn't belong in the "Ancient Times" sub-forum.
The Bayon temple belongs in the "Middle Ages" sub-forum.
Moderator, please could you move this beautiful thread to the correct sub-forum?
