The temples of Java


This website contains background information about Javanese temples compiled from the notes I have taken in preparation of, and during visits to a number of these temples. Because many of the sources consulted are not popularly available, and in the absence of a detailed guidebook covering the Javanese temples, I present this information here so that it may be of use to other travellers or people interested in Javanese history. 

The quick tour [under construction] gives brief overview of the principal sites and their background.
