Borobudur
Rulers of the Sailendra dynasty built Borobudur some time between AD 750 and AD 850. Not much is known about Borobudur’s early history, except that to build the temple was a huge undertaking. Borobudur is built from two million blocks of stone and has survived Merapi’s explosions as well as earthquakes to remain one of SE Asia’s most awe-inspiring temples.
