He smiles with love, dignity, compassion and forgiveness. You will remember this everlasting smile. The smiles of the people of Cambodia.
The Bayon, a temple-mountain, a forest of 200 gigantic faces with mysterious glances looking in all directions, enigmatic smiles, at beings of another world with smiling serenity. This three storey temple with a height of forty three metres , stayed for a long time an enigma. Built in 12th century by Jayavarman VII, the ruin first floors are a pantheon dedicated to the gods Khmers at the beginning of its construction, which during this time there was a transition between the religions of Hinduism and Buddhism. The superior floor is wholly dedicated to Buddha. Fabulous low relief’s, totalling one thousand two hundred metres in length are present representing more than eleven thousand sculptured persons carved into the rock face. Long frescoes tell the ancient stories of the fights and the naval battles between the Khmers and the Chams, as well as the daily life of the people and inhabitants.
