The masterpiece of Borobudur was build during the IXth century as a shrine of Budha and a pilgrimage place, and was deserted during the XIVth century, due to the islamization of Indonesia. During the XIXth century Borobudur was rediscovered, and restored by UNESCO and some Buddhistic countries (Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar) in the 1973. Borobudur became nowadays not only Indonesia’s most important attraction, but, amazingly, also an important factor for the unity of this country.
