Tamansari Water Castle


"Taman Sari" means beautiful park.
Sultan Hamengku Buwana I in 1757 built this park. He created a new style that was a combination and mixture of Javanese and Portuguese architecture. This was once a most secret part of Kraton as it formed a pleasure park of pools and waterways planted with hundreds of flowering trees.
