Kraton Yogyakarta entrance


At the center of Yogyakarta lies a city within the city: the Kraton. Built in the middle of the 18th century, this walled-city serves as the home of the sultans of what remains of the Mataram kingdom to this day. Approximately 25,000 people live inside the walls of the Kraton. Inside are many shady courtyards connected by beautifully decorated covered walks.
