Trying Traditional Javanese food at Taman Sari Water Castle in Yogyakarta | Vlog #26

Today we’re exploring the historical inner city of Yogyakarta. Including the beautiful Taman Sari water castle, a batik shop, and ending with a traditional Javanese meal at a restaurant that cooked for the Sultans. Taman Sari Water Castle, is the site of a former royal garden of the Sultanate of Yogyakarta. Built in the mid-18th century, Taman Sari once consisted of four distinct areas: but today only the central bathing complex is well preserved, which has made it the main tourist attraction. The name Taman Sari comes from the Javanese words taman, meaning a "garden" or "park" and sari, which means "beautiful" or "flowers". Hence, the name Taman Sari means an area of a beautiful garden adorned with flowers. Construction began in 1755, and the project leader had travelled twice to Batavia to learn about European architecture, which is the reason why the architecture of Taman Sari has marks of European style. The complex consists of about 59 buildings including a mosque, meditation chambers, swimming pools, and a series of 18 water gardens and pavilions. And it saw use by the local royalty between 1765 and 1812. 📧 Want to collaborate?
