In the last level, there is a temple to worship Pengaruman. Not to mention tourists may find Gedong, which is a building to store historical and valuable items.
Aside from photography and exploration, some people also come to Penulisan Temple to learn the history. Despite the uncertain information, it is said the temple was built in 300 AD or during the Bronze Age. The construction continued later during the reign of Majapahit Kingdom in 1343 AD. At the time, the temple was used to worship God Shiva and became Kings’ favorite place to do yoga and meditation!
