Yogyakarta is the cultural and intellectual centre of Java. Dating back to the Mataram Kingdom (8th-10th century), Yogyakarta was home to both Hindu and Buddhist religion and culture, as evidenced in the architectural legacies of Borobudur, the world’s largest Buddhist monument, and the Prambanan temple complex built during this period.
Deeply influenced by its religious and royal history, Yogyakarta is considered the soul of Javanese culture where traditional handicrafts and textiles, along with Javanese dance, theatre, and shadow puppetry can be found.
