Borobudur Temple is one of the wonders buildings of the UNESCO heritage list. It was built early in the 8th century AD during the Shailendra dynasty, named King Samarathungga. It lies in the northern foothills of Menoreh, with 265 meters height above sea level. The Borobudur temple was buried under the ground and forgotten by people for over 1000 years. The British discovered it he was the first governor of Central Java province, during the reign of the Dutch East Indies, named Sir. Thomas Stanford Raffles in 1814.
Borobudur temple was two times renovated, first starting in the year 1907 to 1911 and the second renovated from 1972 to 1983. The second renovation spent $ 25 million US dollars, collected from donators who care about the temple's existence. The temple was only 80% of the total construction rebuilt, as many masonries were lost, stolen, or taken by the Colonial government during the Dutch period. The temple's condition is good and sturdy, although incompletely rebuilt.
There are four entrances at the foot part, and all will lead to the summit Stupa of Borobudur temple. There are 72 Stupas with Buddha statues in each contained therein surrounding the main stupa on the top right in the middle. One of the Stupas has a Buddha statue believed to contain a fortune if they could touch on certain parts. The temple is on a hill and surrounded by mountains, like; mount Menoreh, Merbabu, Merapi, Sumbing, and Sindoro, with breathtaking panoramic views to enjoy from the beautiful scenery from the hilltop.
