The palace court with its grand and elegant Javanese architecture lies in the centre of the city. It was founded Prince Mangkubumi in 1755. The Prince was then called Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono I.
He chose the right location of the compound between the Winongo River and the Code River.
The palace streches out from north to south.
The front yard is called Alun-alun Utara (the North Square), and the back yard is called Alun-alun Selatan (the South Square).
The lay out of the buildings shows that the Palace, the commemorative column and Mount Merapi lie in on line.
