Yogyakarta has a lot of heritage sites. Temples, Javanesse royal palace, and now....this place is a part of the royal palace. It is called Tamansari, a place for the King and his family for relaxing. Located not too far from the palace, this place is really beautiful and amazed me.
Built in 1758 and designed by Portuguese architect, this building has a bit of Javanesse an European taste..

In the old days, Sumur Gumuling is a mosque with unique architecture and shape.
The words “Sumur Gumuling” mean a well that is surrounded by an Islamic congregation. The leader of the prayer does not need a speaker since the circular construction cause echoes that make his voice heard louder. |
