Kota Gede "The Silver City" Yogyakarta

Kota Gede district of Yogyakarta is the original capital of the Mataram kingdom which was a great Muslim kingdom in the 16th century. According to history, the city was founded by the first sultan of Mataram in 1582. While in the spot, you can take a look at the burial spot of the sultan in the graveyard of a very old mosque. The mosque is a place of interest and reflects Javan style. In addition to that, the roofs are done in the same style a Hindu temple is made. You can also find the depictions of Hindu gods around the graveyard.

Kota Gede in Yogyakarta provides information on the palace when it was intact. At present you can only find the Royal Graveyard and a few small sections of wall of the palace that remains today. During your tour to the historical city of Yogyakarta, you will find the Kota Gede situated in the outskirts of the city.

Kota Gede, Yogyakarta had earned significance during the time of Indonesian independence in the year 1940 when the silver workers had attained much of attention of the world.

Today, the Kota Gede area is better known for its many silver shops. You don't have to go far from the graveyard of the first sultan to find a large silver factory. These can be quite nice, but the prices are not as good as Bali.

The Royal cemetery is a sight to see and you can have a wonderful experience out there. Image by jakartajavakini.com
