Yogyakarta history buffs, heaven for History and Ancient Temple Lovers. Yogyakarta, a city of culture and history located on the island of Java, holds its own charm for history lovers. One of its main attractions is the existence of ancient temples scattered in various corners of the city. In my opinion, there may still be temples that have not been revealed and have been buried for centuries. These temples are not only historical buildings, but also silent witnesses to past civilizations that are rich in cultural and spiritual values. There is the largest Hindu temple in Yogyakarta and borders Central Java, namely Prambanan Temple.
Exploring Yogyakarta’s Iconic Temples
Prambanan Temple, as the largest Hindu temple complex in Indonesia, Prambanan is a must-visit for history lovers. Moreover, coupled with the folklore of Roro Jonggrang, it adds to the attraction for tourists to learn more about Indonesian history.
Borobudur Temple, although administratively located in Magelang, Borobudur is very easy to access from Yogyakarta. The largest Buddhist temple in the world is also a must-visit destination for history lovers.
Ijo Temple, located in the hills with beautiful views, Ijo Temple is very beautiful to enjoy at sunset.
Kalasan Temple, is the oldest Buddhist temple in Yogyakarta.
Sambi Sari Temple, this temple looks unique because it is located below ground level. It is said that this temple was covered by volcanic material when an eruption occurred.
