Kraton Surakarta
The susuhunan (king) Pakubuwono II moved his court to the newly built Kraton Surakarta in 1745. The palace was significantly expanded at the turn of the 20th century by his descendant Pakubuwono X. However, many of the structures were destroyed by fire in 1985 and have been reconstructed.
The kraton is still home to the susuhunana of Surakarta, which means that much of the residence is off limits. There is a museum and guided tour through parts of the kraton available.
Admission Fees
Admission is 2,500 Rupiah (0.23 USD), which includes a guide.
