Yogyakarta, Cultural capital in Java, Indonesia.

The city spans across fourteen districts near Mount Merapi, featuring a mixture of traditional Javanese architecture and modern urban development at 113 meters elevation.

Following the Treaty of Giyanti in 1755, Sultan Hamengkubuwana I established Yogyakarta as a sovereign sultanate, marking the beginning of its distinct political identity.

The Kraton Palace remains an active royal residence and cultural center where visitors can observe traditional Javanese dance performances and view historical artifacts.

Visitors can reach Yogyakarta through Adisucipto International Airport, with direct connections to major Indonesian cities and regular transportation services to the city center.

Yogyakarta functions as the sole Indonesian city where a sultan maintains actual governing authority, combining traditional monarchy with modern administrative systems.
