Borobudur Temple, is the largest Buddhist monument in all of Southeast Asia and its origins date back to between 750 and 849.

This Buddhist structure, made with limestone, is an authentic wonder and heritage of humanity by Unesco.

Very well preserved and located about 75 km from Yogyakarta, this site is a must if we pass through Indonesia.

Location

Located in an enviable enclave, Borobudur is surrounded by rice fields, palm trees and abundant vegetation, under the watchful eye of the Merapi volcano.

Its measures per side are 118 meters x 118 meters and is 4 stories high until it reaches its highest part where the stupa is located, surrounded by bells (Buddhist symbol).

It is said that Borobudur is the idea that Buddhists of the cosmos had and through its construction they wanted to represent it.
Each floor is one of the states that Buddha went through before arriving in Nirvana (represented by the top).

Even today, it is not known for sure, how this Buddhist construction could reach the Island of Java, where there are no more buildings of this type.

The beauty and grandeur of Borobudur, went unnoticed for a long time, but luckily, its value has been returned to where it belongs.

The image of its dozens of perforated bells, is one of the most viewed in Indonesia and an authentic work of art.
