16. Angkor Wat, Southeast Asia
The temple complex Angkor Wat (in English “City of Temples”) was constructed circa 1125. Located in Cambodia it is one of the planet’s biggest religious monuments. The Khmer Empire (eighth to 15th centuries CE) intended it to be a Hindu temple that was specifically dedicated to the god Vishnu. The stone temple’s architecture is a distinctive blend of both galleried temple and temple-mountain styles. (Both were relatively new at that time.)
15. The Parthenon, Greece
This was once a temple on the famous Athenian Acropolis. It was built in honor of the Greek Goddess of Strategy who was the legendary patron of the residents of Athens. Ground was broken in 447 BC at the peak of the Athenian Empire’s power.
It was finished in 438 BC. Decorations and additions went on until some time in 432 BC. During the Persian invasion, the original monument was actually destroyed and the Parthenon replaced it.
