The site of remains is broad and there are 2 Imperial mausoleums; for enshrine 4 queens of King Anak Wungsu and for enshrine the king and king’s father. Candi (monument) of the 7m height relief on the cliff is impressive view, and it is worth to see. Candi was curved as the same style as Ellora Caves in India; that shows Indian culture influenced Indonesia at that time.
