YOGYAKARTA
Yogyakarta is the capital city of one among three Exclusive Regions in Indonesia, located in the south-central part of the island of Java. As the only Indonesian royal city still ruled by a monarchy, Yogyakarta is regarded as an important centre for classical Javanese fine arts and culture such as ballet, batik textiles, drama, literature, music, poetry, silversmithing, visual arts, and wayang puppetry. Renowned as a centre of Indonesian education, Yogyakarta is home to a large student population and dozens of schools and universities, including Gadjah Mada University, the country's largest institute of higher education and one of its most prestigious.[Learn more]
17 KM East of Yogyakarta the temples at Prambanan Village are the cream of what remains of Java's period of Hindu cultural development between the 8th and 10th centuries. Not only do this temples form the largest Hindu temple complex on Java, but the wealth of sculptural detail on the great Shiva Temple - known as Roro Jonggrang, makes it easily the most outstanding example of Hindu art.
The original group of the outer compound contains the remains of 244 temples, 8 minor and 8 main temples stand in the highest central courtyard, and most have been well restored. There are curiously assembled between Budhist elements in architecture and sculpture with Hindu's at several temples here which make this tour more interesting.
