The Royal palace yogyakarta is in complex area of sultan and at central city. It is the seat of the reigning Sultan of Yogyakarta and his family. The complex is a center of Javanese culture and contains a museum displaying royal artifacts. The complex was built in 1755–1756 (AJ 1682) for Hamengkubuwono I, the first Sultan of Yogyakarta. It was one of the monarch's first acts after the signing of the Treaty of Giyanti, which recognized the creation of the Sultanate of Yogyakarta under the Dutch East India Company. On 20 June 1812, Sir Stamford Raffles led a 1,200-strong British and Irish force to attack the walled royal city of Yogyakarta. Although they outnumbered the British, the Javanese were unprepared for the attack. Yogyakarta fell in one day, and the palace was sacked and burnt. The attack was the first of its kind on a Javanese court, and the Sultanate briefly became subject to British authority before the British government returned control of Indonesia to the Dutch.

The carriage museum is housed in a building to the west of the main Kraton palace. The royal carriages used by the sultans from years past. Some of the special carriages were used in coronation ceremonies while others were for day-to-day use. There is even one that was used for funerals. The exhibits are a bit dusty - apparently the carriages are only ritually washed once a year, and there are no signs in English, so you need to have a keen interest in such things to visit. Don't forget to take time for lunch.

You might like to visit one of Yogya's other heritage temples – this time perhaps of the Hindu faith. The Temple is the largest Hindu complex in Java. It is a 9th-century Hindu temple compound in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, in southern Java, dedicated to the Trimūrti, the expression of God as the Creator (Brahma), the Preserver (Vishnu) and the Destroyer (Shiva). The temple compound is located approximately 17 kilometres northeast of the city on the boundary between Central Java and Yogyakarta provinces. The temple compound, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the largest Hindu temple site in Indonesia and the second-largest in Southeast Asia after Angkor wat. It is 47-metre-high (154 ft) central building inside a large complex of individual temples. Prambanan temple compounds originally consisted of 240 temple structures, which represented the grandeur of ancient Java's Hindu art and architecture, and is also considered as a masterpiece of the classical period in Indonesia.
