Mount Penanggungan

Stratovolcano in East-Java, Indonesia with sacred Hindu-Buddhist temples

Mount Penanggungan is a small stratovolcano, immediately north of the Arjuno-Welirang volcanic complex in East Java province, Java island, Indonesia. Mount Penanggungan is about 40 kilometers (24.8 mi) south of Surabaya, and can be seen from there on a clear day. Several Hindu-Buddhist sanctuaries, sacred places and monuments are on the western slope of the mountain dating from AD 977–1511.
