Pugung Raharjo archaeological site

The site spans 30 hectares and contains megalithic structures, including mounds, stone enclosures, and a terraced pyramid dating from different historical periods.

Following its discovery by transmigrants in 1957, excavations revealed artifacts from prehistoric times through the Hindu-Buddhist period and into the Islamic era.

The archaeological complex features Buddhist statues, Polynesian-style sculptures, and megalithic pools that demonstrate the varied cultural influences in ancient Sumatra.

Located 42 kilometers from Lampung airport, the site includes a museum displaying recovered artifacts and protective trenches reaching depths of 5 meters.

The fortified settlement contains two elongated mounds forming walls that extend 1,200 meters and rise 3.5 meters high to protect against coastal threats.
