Prambanan Temple

7.4

4.8/5

599 reviews

Prambanan is a very magnificent Hindu temple in Indonesia. It has been damaged by many volcanoes and earthquakes. There are more than 50 temple ruins. Prambanan was built in the 8th to 10th centuries AD, about the same era as Angkor Wat in Cambodia, and has many similarities in architectural form and sculptural themes. The temple has three-story courtyards. Most of the buildings on the outer two floors are in ruins. Only the inner layer preserves several temples. The three magnificent main temples are dedicated to Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu, and the other three small temples are respectively. Enshrined in their mounts divine bull, divine goose and condor. Like Borobudur, Prambanan Temple is also built of volcanic rock, and the walls are covered with exquisite reliefs, but its content is mostly based on the Indian epic "Ramayana". Compared with Angkor Wat, although the same story is told, the artistic style and characters are quite different.

The Sultanate Palace of Yogyakarta is the cultural center of this charming city of Yogyakarta. This is a nearly 250-year-old Forbidden City located in the center of Yogyakarta. Designed and built by Gu Buvorno I. The unique feature of the Forbidden City is that Indonesia allows the original royal family to continue to live in the palace, and the servants used in the palace still wear ancient clothes. The current residence in the palace is the Sultan of Harmeng Bwono X, whose father, Harmeng Bwono IX, was the Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia in the past. There are more than 20 sets of gamelan musical instruments in the palace. There are two sets of older gamelan musical instruments in the palace, one set is the relic of the Majapachet Dynasty, and the other set comes from the Tammu Kingdom. There is a room dedicated to the collection of shadow puppets in the palace, and many puppets are kept in it. Every Friday, many Javanese come here to offer flowers, and some even sleep in the garage, hoping that the soul of the past king will descend upon him and receive his spiritual guidance.

The Water Palace is located in the southwest of the Sultan's Palace in Yogyakarta. It is a complex of canals, ponds and palaces. It used to be the palace's luxury entertainment park, swimming pools and waterways for the Sultan and his entourage to travel. This elaborate retreat was built between 1758 and 1765 by a Portuguese architect. Most of what you see today are the relics of the past, and the landscape bathing pool that is more representative of the water palace was rebuilt later.

Tugu Yogyakarta Monument

5.0/5

The Yogyakarta Memorial, standing in the Jetis area in northern Yogyakarta, commemorates the historical memory of the Indonesian War of Independence with a pure white cone-shaped building complex. The three-story structure of the main building implies philosophical symbolism, and the top observation deck can overlook the city and the outline of Mount Merapi. The internal circular gallery displays black and white photos, manuscripts and military remains, and some scenes restore the actual operation of the provisional government in the 1940s. In the memorial park outside the building, the circular pool reflects the stone tablets engraved with the names of the fallen, and local students often receive historical education here in the morning. The underground exhibition room presents the city's defense system as a temporary capital during the war through multimedia installations and physical models. At certain times of the week, members of the Veterans Association will tell oral histories at the entrance square. The open-air theater on the east side of the park occasionally hosts traditional shadow play performances, allowing war memories and Javanese culture to have a time-space dialogue. This solemn but not oppressive memorial space has become an important cultural landmark for understanding the formation of the modern Indonesian nation.

What travelers say about Kalasan

AllenT.November 6, 2026

5.0

Since we are going after Borobudur, it appears to be less magnificent, in my personal experience. The stupas features three main Hindu’s God, and due to space constraints, we are finding the accessibility is relatively limited. However, the overall experience is still considerably meaningful, and the park surrounding the temple is very spacious.

The palace here isn't particularly opulent, but it does retain some historical relics. Because it's still in use, there are many restrictions on photography, and some areas are inaccessible. Overall, it's still worth a visit.

Before becoming a tourist spot, Breksi Cliff was a natural rock mining site. This mining activity is carried out by the local community. At the mining location there are places where mining rocks are cut to be used as building decoration materials.

I arranged for a Grab ride to get there. I visited in the afternoon, and there were only a handful of tourists. The grounds were much larger than I expected, and I couldn't see everything. I heard that it gets crowded with tourists at sunset and sunrise, so I'd like to go again if I have the chance.
