Borobudur Temple
Built by the Sailendra Dynasty between AD 780 and 840, Borobudur is the world’s largest Buddhist monument. Designed as a sacred pilgrimage site, it guides visitors toward enlightenment through its intricate carvings and grand stupas. Rediscovered in 1814 by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, Borobudur remains an awe-inspiring testament to ancient architecture and spirituality.

Pawon & Mendut Temples
Located along a straight line with Borobudur, these two smaller temples hold a mysterious yet significant connection. Researchers believe they played an essential role in the spiritual journey of ancient pilgrims.

Prambanan Temple
Dating back to the 9th century, Prambanan is Indonesia’s largest Hindu temple complex. Dedicated to the Trimurti, the complex features towering shrines honoring:
• Shiva – The Destroyer

• Brahma – The Creator
