Solo : Trip to Kraton Surakarta

Day 3 : Kraton Surakarta

Have you ever been to any Kraton in Indonesia? Well, I got that good opportunity. Visited Kraton Surakarta at Solo was the first time and I got many knowledge from there. Not only history, but also the unique architecture (combination of Java and colonial) and manners. 

Entrance
Kraton's alun-alun from the top of PGS (one of retail stores there)




Sculpture







Before you get into the Kraton's area, you can see the Kraton's museum that exhibits Kraton's collection from long time ago.












Fyi, you must take off your shoes when entering the Kraton's area, and also you can't observe all of it because there are some areas those are forbidden to visitors.
