Prambanan -  Central Java - Indonesia

Candi Prambanan is a 9th-century Hindu temple compound in Central Java in Indonesia. Prambanan is the largest Hindu temple site in Indonesia, and one of the biggest in Southeast Asia. It is dedicated to the Trimurti, the expression of God as the Creator  - Brahma, the Preserver - Vishnu and the Destroyer - Shiva. The place is situated in a picturesque plain dotted with archaeological monuments amongst rice paddies and villages, approximately 17 kilometres northeast of the city of  Yogyakarta.

Prambanan’s status as one of the most extraordinary pieces of South East Asian religious architecture was recognised by a UNESCO in 1991, when it named this complex a World Heritage Site.
