Yogyakarta is located on island of
Java.
The name of this town is often written as Jogjakarta or simply Jogja. It is the only region in
Indonesia,
where the governor’s office is hold by a descendant of the Sultan of Yogyakarta, just like a sultanate. Sultan’s Palace (kraton) is still the seat of the Sultan and his family. Some parts of the palace are open to the public, but what is presented there is very disappointing. The square is full of dust, the rooms are empty. No elegant decoration, no furniture or paintings. Almost nothing can be considered art here, absolutely zero, what is interesting.
