Puro Pakualaman

thanks for reading indonesianthology,

Pakualaman Palace is located at Jalan Sultan Agung, Yogyakarta.

Although smaller than Sultan's palace, but its architecture is still fascinating. Puro Pakualaman is a home of Pakualam king of Pakualaman kingdom. In 1813, Prince Notokusumo (son of Hamengkubuwono I) was crowned by British Kingdom to be Pangeran Adipati Pakualam I. In this period Indonesia was conquered by British government under Thomas Stanford Raffles.

In the main room you will see a set of Gamelan (javanesse pentatonic ensemble).

Entry ticket and guided tour by donation.

Back to Yogyakarta.
