Prambanan Temple

Impian Monalisa-Temple are classical buildings and evidence as a product of very high and priceless culture.
The temples used to be a place to bring offerings. This can be verified by seeing the ashes of animals found in the temples.
At present, people still believe that temples are holy and sacred place. Therefore visitor are expected to conduct themselves properly.
Temples found in the surrounding of Yogyakarta built in 8-9 century during the glory of Hindu and Budha religion.

Prambanan Temple is located around 17 km from Yogyakarta. Tourist wont miss the temple because it is only hundred meters off the main street.


Prambanan, named after the village, is the biggest temple complex in Java. There are 224 temples in the complex; three of them, the main temples are Brahma Temple in the north, Vishnu Temple in the south, and the biggest among the three which lies between Brahma and Vishnu temples is Shiva Temple (47 meters high).

These three ancient masterpieces of Hindu architecture are locally referred to as Prambanan Temple or Lorojonggrang Temple. One of its appeals is the wealth of sculptural detail. The well known one is on the inner wall of the balustrade, the wonderfully vital and utterly engrossing Ramayana epic.

Perhaps one of the most majestic temples in the South-East Asia, Prambanan attracts many admirers each year from abroad. Situated about 15 kilometers from Yogyakarta, the top of the main shrine is visible from a great distance and rises high above the scattered ruins of the former temples.
