Apit Temple

Two Apit temples ("flanking temple"; apit = to flank) stood near the entrance gate, flanking two rows of temples, the west and the East row. Apit temples had dimension of 6 x 6 square meters and 16 meters high. Each temple had one entrance facing to the North and to the south. The shape and structure of these temples were similar to other temples at Lorojonggrang complex, however the Apit temples looked slimmer than the others due to the higher foot part. The conspicuous feature of Apit temple is the presence of a lion figure in sitting position and wide-open mouth, one of the front foot is raised.
