Mount Lawu, or Gunung Lawu, is a massive compound stratovolcano straddling the border between East Java and Central Java, Indonesia. The north side is deeply eroded and the eastern side contains parasitic crater lakes and parasitic cones. A fumarolic area is located on the south flank at 2,550 m. The only reported activity of Lawu took place in 1885, when rumblings and light volcanic ash falls were reported.
The western slopes of Lawu have a number of graveyards - including Astana Giribangun and Mangkunegaran
Earlier structures on the western slopes also include Candi Ceto and Candi Sukuh
