Ratu Boko Temple
Settled on a hillside plateau, overlooking Prambanan Temple Complex and with a view of Mount Merapi behind Prambanan Temple Complex, lie the remains of a once grand palace. The palace is Ratu Boko Temple named after a King Boko of local folklore, but the real owner of the palace is more likely to have been a king of a local dynasty.
Ratu Boko Temple is located on a plateau, about three kilometres south of Lara Jonggrang Prambanan Temple Complex in Yogyakarta Central Java, Indonesia. Grand stone gates, built on two levels, are the largest and most often photographed structures of the site. It is clear that these lead to what was once a settlement, which sets Ratu Boko apart from the other archaeological sites in Central Java which are entirely religious in nature. Visitors can also enjoy the beautiful views around the temple.
The site covers 16 hectares in two hamlets (Dawung and Sambireja) of the village of Bokoharjo and Prambanan. In striking contrast to other classic-period sites in Central Java and Yogyakarta, which are remains of temples, Ratu Boko displays attributes of an occupation or a settlement site, although its precise functions is unknown. Probably the site was a palace complex which belongs to the kings of Sailendra or Mataram Kingdom that also built temples scattered across Prambanan Plain.
