However, the impact of the pandemic which has caused restrictions on activities, including tourism, has affected the number of visits to the Batujaya Temples. This research aimed an in-depth understanding of the tourism potential of the Batujaya Temples to increase the number of visitors. A historical and archaeological approach was used and discussion was focused on the brief history of the Batujaya Temples, the condition of the Batujaya Temple during the pandemic and post-pandemic period, as well as the cultural potential that can be developed further. The results of the research show that the impact of the pandemic and post-pandemic conditions at the tourist location of the Batujaya Temples was the improvement of public facilities and infrastructure, as well as adjusting tourist visit regulations to post-pandemic conditions.
