Mataram (King Sanjaya)
History & significance The earliest structure attributed to the ancient Mataram kingdom, a Shaivite compound of one main shrine and three perwara with a Nandi and a yoni pedestal. The Canggal inscription found here in 1879 records King Sanjaya ordering a lingam raised in 654 Saka, 732 CE, which fixes both the temple and the kingdom's beginning.

Not yet sourced: how to reach it, its sthala katha, who paid for it and a source beyond Wikipedia.
Those are gaps in our citations, not in the record of the site. A field appears here only once we can cite it, so an absent one means the sourcing is still to do — most of these facts are well attested somewhere we have not read yet: a gazetteer, an inscription volume, the temple’s own office. We omit rather than guess.
