Candi Gedong Songo is the name of a complex of Hindu temples located in the Village Temple, District Bandungan, Semarang regency, Central Java, Indonesia, precisely in the slopes of Mount Ungaran. In this complex there are nine temples.
This temple was discovered by the Raffles in 1804 and is a relic from the era of Hindu Syailendra Wangsa dynasty - 9th century (927 years BC).
This temple has a resemblance to the Dieng temple complex in Wonosobo. This temple is situated at an altitude of about 1200 m above sea level so the air temperature is quite cold here (ranging from 19-27°C). Location of nine temples scattered on the slopes of Mount Ungaran has beautiful natural scenery. In the surrounding area there are also neatly arranged pine forests and hot water springs that contain sulfur.
