The Gedong Songo Temple or the nine Temples located in Bandungan area – Ungaran, a 2 hours drive from Jogjakarta or 1,5 hours drive from Semarang – the capital city of central Java.

The temples is a group of Hindu temples located in Central Java, Indonesia. The site was originally built during the early period of the Medang Kingdom which controlled Central Java during the 8th and 9th centuries. Similar to the Dieng temples on the Dieng Plateau, Gedong Songo was erected out of volcanic stone. The temples of Gedong Songo reflect a similar architectural structure to those on the Dieng Plateau, though they have less variation in form than them. Gedong Songo displays more emphasis on plinth and cornice mouldings. At Temple 3, an entrance is outlined by a vestibule that is decorated by guardian figures. Temple III is a Shiva temple, paired with a facing Nandi shrine.

There were some speculation why all 9 temples had never been finished, either because they were attacked by other kingdom at that time, or the change of the monarchy stop the construction. The initial plan is to make the 1st temple with 1 temple, the 2nd temple are 2 temples, and so on until the 9th temple are consist of 9 temples. The plan shown by the left of the stone prepared in the site. There is a natural hot water steam in between, also offer the hot water pool in the nearby.
