Kagungan Dalem Kedhaton is the central and most prestigious area of the Yogyakarta Palace, representing the heart of Javanese royal life. Accessible from the north and south gates, this grand complex welcomes visitors with a strong sense of history and tradition.

Its wide courtyard, covered in sea sand and shaded by sawo kecik trees symbolising beauty and goodness, creates a serene atmosphere. At its centre stands Bangsal Kencana, a noble hall used for royal ceremonies, important meetings, and traditional performances, offering an authentic and memorable cultural experience.
