11/08/2014

Located at the foot of Mount Merapi, Yogyakarta – the mysterious ancient capital of Indonesia – is famous for its rich cultural heritage, including solemn temples and pagodas built thousands of years ago. It embodies the history and traditional Javanese art and culture of Indonesia, such as batik embroidery, ballet, musical theater, poetry, and puppetry.

In Yogyakarta, visitors cannot miss the Buddhist site of Borobudur, built over 75 years from the 8th to 9th centuries. It's a complex of many smaller towers surrounding a 42-meter-high main tower, featuring over 2,500 reliefs and 500 Buddha statues. Besides that, visitors can explore the magnificent Prambanan Temple, the largest and oldest in Southeast Asia, a showcase of architectural and sculptural excellence built by King Rakai Pikatan. It's a place of worship for the three supreme gods of Hinduism: Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Furthermore, Taman Sari – meaning "fragrant garden" in Javanese – is an architectural masterpiece heavily influenced by Europe, especially Portugal, serving as a retreat, meditation center, entertainment venue, and even a place of revelry for royalty at the time.
