Alun-Alun Purworejo, Central public square in Purworejo, Indonesia

Alun-Alun Purworejo is a central public square in Purworejo featuring broad open spaces bordered by local buildings and various structures. The layout includes walking paths, rest areas, and different zones where people can sit and gather comfortably.

Alun-Alun Purworejo was laid out in 1830, the same year Purworejo town was founded, and first served as a military training ground. It was later turned into a public square. In 1973 two old banyan trees at its centre were replaced by two saplings from the Waringin Kurung tree of Yogyakarta's northern square, gifts of Sultan Hamengku Buwono IX, named Ki Suryoputro (east) and Ki Dewo Atmodjo (west).

The two banyan trees at the centre carry names: Ki Suryoputro on the east side and Ki Dewo Atmodjo on the west. They were planted in 1973, replacing older trees, and came from shoots of the Waringin Kurung tree in Yogyakarta's northern square, a gift of Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono IX. On national holidays the field hosts ceremonies such as Independence Day, and large events like night markets and concerts.

Food vendors operate around the square selling Indonesian dishes and snacks throughout the day and evening hours. The open layout makes it easy to walk around and explore different spots for eating or resting.
