History of Taman Sari
Taman Sari Yogyakarta was built during the reign of Sultan Hamengku Buwono I between 1758 and 1765. The complex was originally used as a recreation area for the Sultan and his family. Furthermore, Taman Sari also served as a defensive fortress.
The underground passages served as shelter during enemy attacks. Over time, parts of the complex were converted into residential areas. However, its historical significance remains intact.
