Perched on a hilltop plateau 196m above the Prambanan Plain, Ratu Boko is a sprawling 8th-century royal compound of Hindu-Buddhist gateways, bathing pavilions, and terraces with extraordinary sunset views toward Prambanan and Mount Merapi. The golden hour light here is among the most spectacular in Yogyakarta.
