Borobudur is a 9th century Buddhist temple in Indonesia. It is located in Magelang Regency of Central Java. The temple is made of gray andesite stone and has nine platforms topped by a central dome.

It was built during the Sailendra Dynasty’s reign in Java. Borobudur blends Javanese Buddhist architecture with other indigenous Indonesian traditions. The temple was later abandoned in the 14th century when people in started to convert to Islam. Thomas Stamford Raffles rediscovered Borobudur in 1814, leading to its preservation through various restorations, including a major one in 1983 by the Indonesian government and UNESCO. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
