iSurprise Between Two Gates

Unique complex of traditional Javanese Joglo houses

Between two gates

This is one of Kotagede’s real gems. Known as ‘between two gates’ - it is a unique complex of traditional Javanese Joglo houses dating back to 1840. This site was originally the square that formed the entrance (alun alun) to the palace (kraton). This area is therefore still referred to by the locals as kampung alun alun.
