The old disused palace,unless you've discovered another, is I suspect, the Yogyakarta Kraton, a two century old palace complex stands at the very heart of the city, is both the capital of the kingdom and hub of the cosmos, bringing the two into coincidence through the application of certain eleborate design principles. It houses not only the sultan and his family, but alos the powerful dynamic regalia, private meditation and cermonial chambers, a magnificent throne hall, several audience and performance pavilions, a mosque, an immense royal garden, stable, barracks , an arnaments foundry and two expensive parade ground planted with sacred banyan trees.
