The flag of Cambodia has three horizontal bands: blue, red and blue. The red band in the middle is twice as wide as each blue band and carries a white image of Angkor Wat.
The colours are commonly interpreted as representing the monarchy (blue), the nation (red) and religion (white). The current design was restored in 1993.
Angkor Wat was constructed during the reign of King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century.
The Khmer Empire was a powerful Southeast Asian state that began in 802 CE when Jayavarman II declared himself universal monarch.
