1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #280 - Prambanan Temple, Yogjakarta

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #280

- Prambanan Temple, Yogjakarta
 
(Prambanan is the largest Hindu shrine in Indonesia, and one of the biggest in this region. It is well visited by tourists, even though it is less well-known than the Borobudur Temple. Interestingly, it was built around the same 9th century as Borobudur. The middle building stands up to nearly 50m high. This temple has been hit by earthquakes and volcano eruptions, with many stone slabs left strewn around its outer walls. Doesn't it look like Angkor Wat from afar?)
