The Kraton was built in the center,
facing directly north towards the majestic Mount Merapi. Its south side was
built facing the Indian Ocean, believed to be the abode of Kanjeng Ratu Loro
Kidul, the Queen of the South Seas and the mystical consort of the Sultan. This
splendid example of traditional Javanese architecture has no equal. The basic
and original layout of the main building of The Kraton began its construction
during the reign of Sultan Hamengku Buwono I, in 1755 – 1756.
Taman sari or called Water castle was originally built for multiple purposes yet now only several buildings remain. Some of its original functions were a place to rest, to meditate, to work, to hide and to defend the Sultan’s family. Located near the Kraton, this place was also known as the garden for the Sultan of Yogyakarta. In this present day, some of its buildings have now become homes for local residents and only the mosque, resting and bathing space, and underground tunnels are accessible by visitors. With its combination of eastern and western style building, this unique escape of the royal family has its own appeal and story. The most famous place in Tamansari is the bathing and resting place of the Sultan and his Princesses named Umbul Pasiraman. Most tourists find this place interesting as there is a unique story behind its origins. The last trip, travellers visit an old city called Kotagede.
