Bayon Wat, Cambodia

'Bayon Temple' built at the end of the 12th century by King Jayavarman VII, is a mountain temple built to represent Mount Meru. The Bayon is best known for its large number of serene faces sculpted on its towers. Close to 200 faces, the largest ones being almost 2½ meters high, decorate the 49 towers (37 intact today).

The recreation of Bayon Wat is a part of an online contest held by Reminiscing History. The contest was an initiative to complete broken monuments based on public opinion. People were free to choose the next monument we will complete through Reminiscing History.
