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.
At a specific time, you can also watch a short movie about
Indonesia history. There are also art performances usually held in
the first part of the museum.
