The large, carved stone towers of the Prambanan Temples look like miniature mountains dotting the landscape.

This large compound was built in the ninth century, although it was abandoned not long after this. The countryside surrounding the Prambanan Temples is lush, green and very scenic as a backdrop for the tall buildings. The temple is dedicated to the three aspects of the Hindu god, Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu.
