Yogyakarta Palace Keraton: A Live History of Culture and Art

Jogja Palace or also known as the Keraton Hadiningrat Yogyakarta is a place used by rulers and kings of Islamic Mataram. Keraton itself means a magnificent palace where important people or king in an area lived. So there are also other Keraton in other parts of Indonesia.

Keraton today is used as a museum that keeps artifacts and other historical heritage. Even the palace itself is a valuable heritage. Of course this unique museum is not boring like most museums in Jogja. By only visiting this place, you will be entertained with the beauty of an extraordinary tourist spot, witnessing the true Jogja local art, and get acquainted with its history and custom. Ngayogyakarta Palace Complex is very spacious, special and fascinating. Not surprisingly, many foreign tourists interested to come into the Yogyakarta Palace. Let’s dive into the Palace of Jogjakarta to make your vacation more memorable.

The History of Keraton Yogyakarta Palace

Classic nuance will be found as soon as your feet step into the palace. As if you were taken to the past to be the son and daughter of Keraton. In terms of buildings, the Kraton royal palace Yogyakarta in the past was not much different from the present. Keraton palace Yogyakarta was established in 1755 after the Giyanti Agreement. This agreement made the Islamic Mataram Sultanate divided into two, Surakarta Palace (Solo) and Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat Palace (Jogja). This agreement occurred due to two parties’ disapproval of Dutch rule in the land of Java. Until finally the first sultan of Kraton of Jogja, Sultan Hamengku Buwono I, chose to establish a new sultanate in Jogja area which was more in line with classic Java characteristics.

Jogja and Surakarta Palace are actually brothers from one kingdom. For this reason, until now the two palaces are still often related in various affairs. Keraton Yogyakarta once was thought to have been built as a resting place for the bodyguards who accompanied the body of kings of Mataram who will be buried dikuburkan, and given name as Garjitawati. But there are also those who say that the palace was before a spring in the middle of the Beringan forest.

Yogyakarta Keraton is quite spacious and consists of seven complexes and still has other parts around the Keraton that belong to the king. The seven main complexes are Siti Hinggil Ler which is the northern hall, Kamandhungan Ler, Sri Manganti, Kedhaton (the main palace), Kamagangan, Kamandhungan Kidul, and Siti Hinggil Kidul or the south hall.

The Kraton sultan palace Yogyakarta is a legacy of the Islamic empire that developed since at the hands of its first founder. This extraordinary architecture was designed by the Sultan HB I. In addition to the main part of the palace, the construction of a small gate and fortress in the corners of the palace complex was further developed by his descendants. Those included in Yogyakarta palace complex are North Square, South Square, Gladag Pangurakan Gate, Gedhe Mosque, Pagelaran Complex, Plengkung Nirbaya, Plengkung Gadhing, Pracimosono Complex, Roto Wijayan Complex, Taman Sari, Istana Putra Mahkota Complex, Keraton Kilen Complex , Baluwerti Fortress, Pal Putih Monument, Gedhong Krapyak, Beringharjo Market, and Ndalem Kepatihan (Prime Minister’s Palace).

The function of Keraton Yogyakarta as a home for the king to remain as the Jogjakarta government is increasingly visible with the architectural splendor it makes. The number of carvings and ornaments shows that it is not a place for just anyone. Even each building has a function tailored to its interests and position. Also no one ever thought that the sand in the main yard of the Keraton was sand originating from the South Coast which was later planted by certain trees. The door is made of thick teak wood and is called Regol by the Javanese. But despite being very traditional in style, the fact that Keraton Yogyakarta is adopted ornaments of Dutch, Portuguese, Chinese and Islamic styles cannot be avoided.
