Vredeburg Museum, The Most Historical Site at The Heart of Yogyakarta
Right beside Jogja Zero Kilometer, you can see a fame building in
which historical remains exist. Yups, Fort Vredeburg Museum is an
excellent start to explore the history of Indonesia as well as
Yogyakarta City.
This old fortress was built during the reign of Sultan
Hamengkubuwono I to protect Jogja Palace from the enemy thread. Fort
Vredeburg had undergone several renovations and changes. Its name was
initially known as Rustenburg, and then it was changed in 1867 to
Vredeburg until today.
What can you do there? I said, many. As a museum, Vredeburg is a great place to explore, especially about the history of Jogja. Its architecture and pattern will make you amazed.
Besides, there are four rooms of dioramas representing a different period of Indonesia special events. Each diorama has its uniqueness in which you can learn many things about Indonesia and Yogyakarta.
