Sacred Sites of Indonesia

Central Java serves as a crossroads for Indonesia's major religious traditions. This collection features the 9th-century Borobudur, the world’s largest Buddhist temple, alongside the sprawling Hindu compounds of Prambanan. It includes the 15th-century Sukuh and Ceto temples on Mount Lawu, reflecting late Majapahit architecture. Beyond ancient stone ruins, the list encompasses the modern, bird-shaped Gereja Ayam and significant local mosques, illustrating the region's transition from ancient kingdoms to a diverse modern spiritual landscape.
