Destination Story & Highlights
Sacred Royal Tombs Above the Clouds
The Royal Tombs of Imogiri are the sacred burial ground of the Mataram dynasty kings, perched atop a dramatic hilltop reached by climbing 345 stone steps. The complex features striking red brick gates and centuries of Javanese royal history.
"Established in the 17th century by Sultan Agung Hanyokrokusumo, the Imogiri royal cemetery is considered one of the most sacred sites in Javanese culture. Tradition dictates that only royal family members and those wearing traditional Javanese attire may ascend the fabled stone stairway."
