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".

What travelers say about Prambanan

Visiting Prambanan Temple was one of the most memorable experiences of my journey in Indonesia. As I approached the temple complex, I was immediately amazed by the grandeur of its towering structures and the intricate carvings that adorned the ancient stones. The beauty of the place reflects not only the artistic skills of the people who built it but also their deep religious devotion and rich cultural heritage.What made the experience unique was the opportunity to witness a historical and sacred place that has stood for centuries. Walking around the temple complex allowed me to appreciate the stories, beliefs, and traditions passed down through generations. Each structure seemed to carry a story of its own, reminding me that temples are more than architectural masterpieces; they are also expressions of the spirituality, identity, and worldview of the people who built them.I was particularly fascinated by the way the temples stood tall against th sky, creating a beautiful contrast

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.

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.

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.
