Bayon Temple at the centre of Angkor Thom, the last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer Empire, which was established in the late 12th century by King Jayavarman VII. Although originally built as a Hindu temple (Jayagiri), Bayon was the last temple to be built at Angkor, primarily to worship Buddhist deities. Many of the towers at the temple have carved stone faces of Brahma. Some restoration was carried out in the 20th century and some restoration is still ongoing.
