Temples in Kecamatan Prambanan




Prambanan is located in the western part of the sub-district of Jogja. It is about 17 km from Jogja and passed by main road Jogja-Solo. It was the important area in Java during the Hinduism era, since it was a holy place or mandala where the temples were built. Those temples are lying along the south side of Prambanan Hill up to the compound of Kalasan tmple in the north. Some temples were built by the collaboration of the Hindus and the Buddhists. This showed how the acentors valued tolerance in religions.
Temples in compound of Prambanan Temple were built between 8 C.E and 10 C.E, when Java was ruled by two states of ancient Mataram Kingdom. They were Sanjaya Dynasty of Mataram Hindu in the north, and Syailendra Dynasty of Mataram Buddha in the south. Usually, tourists visit the main temples in the compound. However, there are many smaller temples around the main compound, which are also interesting to see.
