Taman Sari Water Castle

Taman Sari Water Castle is about10 minutes walk from the Sultan's Palace south west ward.
When this park was built in 1757, its main purpose was to be used as a bathing place for the sultan and his family. The park building was a combination and mixture of Javanese and Portuguese architecture.
The water castle was not only beautiful park but also place to avoid danger. Whenever the enemies attacked the palace, Sultan and his family would flee away through the underground passage.
