Among all the historic buildings that existed all over the world, one of the oldest is Temple. In Indonesia, there are a lot of temples that are spread all over the main islands. One of the places that I've visited is Arjuna and Semar Temple. These two buildings are located in Dieng Highland, Central Java.
This temple has also been listed as one of the National Heritage Sites by the Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs Indonesia. During my time in this place, the guide said that this temple is the oldest in Indonesia, but while I search for some supporting facts on the internet, there was too lot information mentioning the different oldest temples. But the fact that I found was, this temple was built between 7-8 AD. If you want to read more about Arjuna Temple, you could go through this Link.
This building is Semar Temple. The construction is quite simple compared to other temple which usually has kind of cone-shaped roof because this temple has flattened roof.
This place is open to the public and the ticket price was only 10,000 IDR (~0.8 USD). The place was very nice and there are a lot of greeneries and mountain views of the surroundings. You could also visit a museum located right in front of the Temple Complex.

Congratulations for the post. I liked it very much
Thank you!
Yes, it is. I am also amazed that they could build this beautiful and complex building structure a long time ago.
That looks like quite historic place indeed.
