Borobudur Temple in Indonesia

Borobudur Temple is a magnificent ancient Buddhist structure located on the island of Java, Indonesia. The complex, that was built in the 9th century, is a masterpiece of architecture, presenting various levels, countless statues, perfect stupas and many stone carved reliefs.
