Ratu Boko



This archeological site lies on a small plateau about 196 meter above the sea level. The remains cover the areas of two villages, Dawung and Sambirejo, belong to Yogyakarta Special Territory Province, about 3 km to the south of Prambanan Temples. The views from the plateau's ridge are most beautiful during the dawn or in the late afternoon.

The Ratu Boko structure are devided into three clusters. The first consits of an impressive gateway and a large stone structure with a central depression-perhaps ancient crematorium. The second set of ruins lies a few hundred metres 500th. These consists of several stone fondations and enclosures, including a set of bathing pools. The third cluster, several hundred metres north of the first enclosure, consists of two artificial meditation caves, a square pool and a staircase.
