Penataran Temple
The most important archaeological remains from the Majapahit period is Candi Penataran, located 10 km north of Blitar on the slopes of Mount Kelud. Penataran Temple is the biggest Hindu temple which occupies a special position among all temples to be found in East Java. Known to ancient literature and inscriptions as Palah, this temple appears to have undergone continuous construction for some two and a half centuries. Its importance can be witnessed further by the regular visits paid to it by King Hayam Wuruk of Majapahit, as mentioned in the Negarakertagama. Even though Penataran dates back to at least the reign of King Srengga of Kediri at the end of the 12th century, the remains which we see today are almost entirely the work of Majapahit architects and builders.

A tentative date from around the early to mid 13th century has been assigned to this temple.
