Sunny Day at Ratu Boko

Share


Posisi yang berdekatan dengan kompleks Candi Prambanan dan bentuk bangunan membuat banyak yang mengira Kompleks Ratu Boko juga merupakan area candi dan tempat suci. Namun, Ratu Boko yang berada di Boko Harjo, Sleman, Yogyakarta ini bukan merupakan candi namun merupakan istana dari Prabu Boko yang disebut-sebut dalam kisah Loro Jonggrang.


Ratu Boko complex mostly assumed as a temple area and shrines since it is close to Prambanan complex with the similar shape of building. Located in Boko Harjo, Sleman, Yogyakarta, Ratu Boko is not a temple but a palace of Prabu Boko which is mentioned in the Roro Jonggrang story.



Terletak di perbukitan, Ratu Boko merupakan lokasi yang tepat untuk menikmati pemandangan di area Boko Harjo ini. Kita juga dapat melihat Candi Prambanan dari kompleks Ratu Boko.


Located in hills, Ratu Boko has the right spot to enjoy view around the area of Boko Harjo. Even the Prambanan Temple is visible from Ratu Boko complex.



The gate


Terdapat sejumlah area di Kompleks Ratu Boko, mulai dari gapura atau gerbang utama hingga keputren atau tempat pemandian raja. Namun daya tarik utama kompleks Ratu Boko adalah pintu gerbang sekaligus tangga masuk dimana terdapat dua gerbang dengan perbedaan jumlah "frame pintu" yaitu tiga dan lima. Masuk ke dalam gerbang kita akan berada di area luas berhadapan dengan bukit. 


There are several areas in Ratu Boko complex, starting from the main gate to “keputren” or king’s baths. But the most attractive point is the main gate once the entrance stairs where we can find two gates with different number of “door frame” which are three and five. Entering the gate, and all we can see is the landscape of the hills.





Kami datang di musim kering saat pepohonan menguning dan matahari terasa sangat terik namun membuat langit sangat membiru. Di areal kiri dari gerbang utama kita dapat naik ke viewing point untuk menikmati pemandangan indah di area ini. Area viewing point ini lebih rindang dengan banyaknya pepohonan, a nice way to spend sunny day here.



We came in the dry season when the trees dried out and the sun was very hot but even it turned out to be a blue sky. In the left side of the gate, we could go up to enjoy the beautiful view. A bunch of trees around got this viewing point area more shady, such a nice way to spend sunny day here.
