Angkor Wat spreads across some 160 hectares of Cambodian jungle, a 12th-century Khmer temple-city whose five lotus-bud towers rise above a vast moat as the largest religious monument on Earth. The Taj Mahal answers from Agra, India, a white-marble mausoleum built by Shah Jahan around 1653 for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, its symmetrical dome mirrored in long reflecting pools.
