The temple stands out from the rest &#8212; in artistry, in scale and in popular imagery.<\/p>\n<p>One of the largest religious structures in the world, and the only religious monument to appear on a national flag, Angkor Wat has become synonymous with Cambodia. The central compound covers about 400 acres and once supported a town of about 100,000 people at a time when London was nothing more than a small town.
