Candi Gedong Songo III dates from the 8th century. The ensemble of monuments consists of two multi-tiered Shiva shrines and a sanctuary. The temples are located on Mount Ungaran and were possibly used for meditation and contemplation.

The Gedong Songo temple complex was built in the 9th century during the Syailendra dynasty in a valley near Mount Ungaran. Candi Gedong Songo translates to "nine great temples" in English; however, only five temple complexes are open to visitors.
