the site of the former palace garden or palace garden of the Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat Palace, which can be compared to Taman Sari Surakarta and the Bogor Botanical Gardens as the gardens of the Bogor Palace. This garden was built during the time of Sultan Hamengku Buwono I (HB I) in 1758-1765/9. Initially, the garden which was nicknamed "The Fragrant Garden" has an area of ​​​​more than 10 hectares with around 57 buildings in the form of buildings, bathing pools, suspension bridges, water canals, and artificial lakes along with artificial islands and underwater passages. The garden, which was used effectively between 1765-1812, originally stretched from the southwest of the Kedhaton complex to the southeast of the Magangan complex. But at this time, the only remnants of the Taman Sari that can be seen are those in the southwest of the Kedhaton complex. It is said that Taman Sari was built in the former palace of the old, Pesanggrahan Garjitawati, which was founded by Susuhunan Paku Buwono II as a resting place for horse-drawn carriages that would go to Imogiri. As the head of the Taman Sari development project, Tumenggung Mangundipuro was appointed. All development costs were borne by the Regent of Madiun, Tumenggung Prawirosentiko, and all his people. Therefore the Madiun area is exempt from tax collection. In the midst of construction the project leadership was taken over by Prince Notokusumo, after Mangundipuro resigned. Although officially a royal garden, some of the existing buildings indicate that Taman Sari served as the last bastion of defense if the palace was attacked by the enemy. It is said that one of the architects of this royal garden was a Portuguese better known as Demang Tegis. #nationalpark #themeparks #triplocal #lakes #tamansari #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches
