Another World Heritage Near Yogyakarta Dec 27, 2008
"Prambanan is the largest Hindu temple compound in Central Java in Indonesia and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is also one of the largest Hindu temples in south-east Asia. It is characterized by its tall and pointed architecture, typical of Hindu temple architecture, and by the 47m high central building inside a large complex of individual temples.
It was built around 850. Much of the original stonework has been stolen and reused at remote construction sites. A temple will only be rebuilt if at least 75% of the original stones are available.
The temple was damaged during the earthquake in Java in 2006. Large pieces of debris, including carvings, were scattered over the ground. The temple has been closed to the public until damage can be fully assessed. Some weeks later in 2006 the site re-opened for visitors. The immediate surroundings of the Hindu temples remain off-limits for safety reasons." Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prambanan

I found myself disappointed after visiting Candi Prambanan. It was not because of the site or the temple. It was because I couldn't get any closer to the temple. Due to the renovation, the complex is surrounded by fence. Fortunately, they provide important informations and photos of each temple. Unfortunately, I didn't take a pict of it.

My advice for you for visiting Candi Prambanan is the same with the one for visiting Candi Borobudur. Please check my review at http://www.travbuddy.com/Candi-Borobudur-v302029
