CANDI SETONO GEDONG

  Being one of the beautiful historical attractions, visitors will really enjoy what the temple offers. Located behind the Aulia Setono Gedong mosque and opposite the intersection that leads to the Kediri train station. The historic site that is used as a tourist spot is also a sacred aulia tomb that is visited by many pilgrims. In addition, the local residents around the temple are very friendly to local tourists and foreign tourists.
  They did not hesitate to take when there were tourists who did not know the location of the temple. Another attraction of this historic place is the arrangement of stones arranged in a row and forming steps. Can be seen when visitors will go to a pavilion building that has a joglo style. The size of the stone also varies, there are large stones on the right side. 
  While smaller stones are placed on the left. The two buildings arranged with these stones are still in very good condition because they continue to be cared for by the temple administrator. One more interesting thing is the authenticity of the rock beneath the wall. Which became the foundation of the temple when in the days of the kingdom of Kediri.
   It is said that above the foundation a mosque will be built by the trustees. But until now there is no known reason why the mosque did not become established. The stone material is then used for the construction of the Great Mosque of Demak and another one is the Cirebon Cipta Sang Mosque. Site Astana and Setono Temple Gedong Kediri are also famous for sites that hold many mysteries. In this place no inscriptions were found that could reveal the history of the temple. There is only Garuda relief and the rest of the temple stone, as well as vague stories that are not yet clear.
