village and the surrounding area are believed
to be the site of the ancient capital of Majapahit.
Archaeological excavations in the area have recovered
many terracotta ornaments, statues, pottery and
stone carvings which are displayed at the Trowulan
Museum. The map in the museum is a guide to nearby
sites of historical interest. The Candra Wilwatika
open-air theatre in Pandaan, 45 km south of Surabaya
presents classical East Javancse ballet performances
on each full moon night from June to November.
The performances are based either on the Ramayana
Stories or East Java's legends and folklore. The
backdrop of Mt. Pananggungan makes the performances
an enchanting experience. Ten km from Chandra
Wilwatika is Tretes, one of the most beautiful
mountain resorts of East Java.
