The Trowulan archaeological site, which covers approximately 100 square kilometres, is located in Mojokerto Regency, in the Indonesian province of East Java. The site is believed to be the remains of what was once the capital city of the Majapahit Empire, featured by 14th century poet Mpu Prapanca in his poem Nagarakretagama. The city was razed during a fight between Girindrawardhana and Kertabhumi in 1478. The Trowulan site is the only archaeological site dating to the Hindu-Buddha classical age to be found in Indonesia. Geographically, the Trowulan area was suitable for human settlement because of its flat topography and access to water. Hundreds of thousands of archaeological remnants and artefacts of the old city in the Trowulan Site were found buried underground as well as on the surface and are still being found today
