BARONG TEMPLE
A Hidden Gem of Classic Hindu Architecture near Prambanan
Barong Temple (Candi Barong) is a peaceful and less crowded Hindu temple complex located on the slopes of Batur Agung Hill, just a short drive east of Prambanan Temple. Built in the 9th–10th century during the Medang Kingdom, the temple is named after the “Barong”-like carvings found on its structures. Unlike most temples in the region, Candi Barong features a unique two-terrace layout with a stunning panoramic backdrop of the Yogyakarta plains.
This serene archaeological site offers not only historical charm but also beautiful views at sunrise or sunset, especially on clear days.
