January 17, 2016





Taman Sari Water Castle
Taman Sari and keraton Yogykarta are not very far if you stay around Jl. Malioboro
and from taman sari to keraton yogya it only takes 20 minutes.

this site is a former royal garden of the sultanate (king) of yogyakarta  and it's build in the 18th century.the architecture with european style wich inspire by Dutch it just so pretty 
(but i hope the goverment are more concern about the maintenance..  )
while i looked at this place..i was thinking that this must be really glorious in it's era..

it's a place for the king to take a shower and sometimes beautiful ladies are swimming in this pool too and the king is watching them from the above and free to pick the ladies...
but not only that this place is also have mystic aura, maybe because it was the place for meditate and to see ratu (legend of ratu roro kidul), this place is a also as a rest area and defense castle.
the tour guide told us that they are closing the tunel which connected (according to the rumor) to Pantai Parangtritis when the girl is reported missing when she used that tunel.
the enter gate..what a lovely day..isn't it?
