Candi Sewu

Second largest Buddhist Temple in Central Java from 8th-century.
Sewu temple is a complex of approximately 257 temples located in Central Java. The Javanese translation of Sewu is "one thousand temples," although this was probably never the case.
Part of the Prambanan tourist destination area, Sewu is located in Bugisan Village, approximately 800 kilometers north of Prambanan and only 2 kilometers to the north of the Prambanan Temple. The Sewu historic area is nestled in a valley between the northern Merapi volcano and southern Sewu mountain range at the Yogikarta border. Sewu is the second largest Buddhist temple in the cental part of Java and its proximity to the Hindu Prambanan Temple seems to indicate a harmonius co-existence of Hindu and Buddhist followers throughout history in this area. A large number of other archeological sites surround the area.
