Site	Type	Criterion	Description	Drawing
13.433103.8331 Angkor	Cultural	(i), (ii), (iii), (iv)	Angkor is one of the major archaeological sites in Southeast Asia. Spanning some 400 km2 partly covered by forest, the Angkor archaeological park conceals the admirable remains of the various capitals of the Khmer Empire which shone between IXe and the XVe century: the famous Angkor Wat temple and, in Angkor Thom, the Bayon temple adorned with countless sculptures. UNESCO has implemented a vast program to safeguard this symbolic site and its environment.	UNESCO sheet
14.388104.6842 Preah Vihear Temple	Cultural	(i)	The temple of Preah Vihear, dedicated to Shiva, sits on the edge of a plateau overlooking the Cambodian plain. Composed of a series of sanctuaries connected by a system of causeways and stairs extending on an axis of 800 m, the temple dates from the first half of the 11th century. Its complex history, however, dates back to the 9th century, when a hermitage was founded. This site is particularly well preserved, mainly because of its remote location. The ensemble is exceptional for its architecture, adapted both to the natural constraints of the site and to the religious functions of the temple, as well as for the quality of the carved stone ornamentation.
