Cipari Megalithic Site

The archaeological park contains stone coffins, menhirs, and dolmens arranged in systematic patterns across a landscaped area at 661 meters elevation.

Discovered in 1972, the site holds artifacts from communities that inhabited the Greater Sunda mainland approximately 10,000 years ago during the Stone Age period.

The burial structures follow a southwest to northeast orientation, reflecting the ancient inhabitants' connection to celestial bodies like the sun and moon.

The museum displays stone axes, bracelets, pottery, and three stone coffin tombs, with guided tours providing information about prehistoric Indonesian settlements.

A six-meter diameter gathering circle made of shingle stones marks the location where ancient inhabitants conducted ceremonies related to ancestral spirits.
