Bayon is one of the most amazing temples located on the territory of Angkor Thom and was its religious center. The "highlight" of Bayon is the towers with many faces carved out of stone, silently looking down on the vast territory of Angkor Thom, and during the state's heyday - on the entire Khmer Empire. Initially, there were 54 towers, which symbolized the 54 provinces that were under the power of the king. Today, only about 37 towers have survived
