At the southern end of Malioboro, on
the east side is the large local market of
Beringharjo, not far from Fort Vredeburg, a
restored Dutch fort. At Yogyakarta's centre is
the Kraton, or Sultan's palace. Surrounding the
kraton is a densely populated residential
neighbourhood that occupies land that was
formerly the Sultan's sole domain. Evidence of
this former use remains in the form of old walls
and the ruined Taman Sari, built in 1758 as a
pleasure garden. No longer used by the sultan,
the garden has been largely abandoned. For a
time, it was used for housing by palace
employees and descendants. Reconstruction
efforts began in 2004, and an effort to renew the
neighbourhood around the kraton has begun.
The site is a developing tourist attraction.
Nearby to the city of Yogyakarta is
Mount Merapi. The northern outskirts of the
city run up to the southern slopes of the
mountain in Sleman Regency (Indonesian
language – Kabupaten). Gunung Merapi
(literally "mountain of fire" in
Indonesian/Javanese), is an active stratovolcano
located on the border between Central Java and
Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It is the most active
volcano in Indonesia and has erupted regularly
since 1548. The South Of Merapi is Kaliurang
Park. The volcano last erupted in November
