I took Joseph to the Kanoman Palace one afternoon. I went there with Joseph. We had a
field assignment to study history, and we chose Kraton Kanoman. We entered the palace
through the Kanoman market. First of all, we told the guard at the gate that we had a school
assignment to study the history of Kraton Kanoman. We were told to ask the historians and
administrators of the kanoman palace. We interviewed them, and he explained well about the
history of the kanoman palace. After the interview, we went inside the Kanoman market,
where we became aware of the
Situated in the center of Cirebon, Indonesia, Kraton Kanoman’s Kanoman Palace is a
testimony to Java’s rich cultural legacy and history. Constructed during the 17th century, this
splendid palace functioned as the Sultan of Cirebon’s house, exhibiting the grace and
magnificence typical of Javanese nobility. The elaborate architecture characteristic of
Javanese castles greets us as soon as we approach the palace grounds. The wooden buildings
are adorned with complex designs that portray scenes from ancient Javanese culture and
stories about mythological creatures. On the walls of the palace there are beautiful plates
typical of China. This provides evidence of good relations between the Chinese state and the
Kanoman Palace in the past
During its peak, the palace was divided into multiple sections, each with a distinct purpose.
The Sultan held court and performed significant rituals in the Pendopo, a large hall with open
sides and high ceilings. History is still sensed here, as if the walls themselves were telling
stories of earlier times. As one walks around the palace, they come upon the royal homes,
which are were the Sultan and his family formerly resided. The architectural mix of Javanese
and Islamic forms is evident in these quarters, which embody the essence of Cirebon.
The Kanoman Palace is still an important center for Javanese culture and the spreading of
Islam on the Island of Java. it is more than just a historical remains. Sometimes We are able
to take in the rich customs that have been maintained within its walls, watch traditional dance
performances, and learn how to make batik. The best times to visit the Koman Palace are in
the early morning or the late afternoon. Since we may appreciate the splendor of the
afternoon sky in Cirebon while relaxing beneath a big tree and listening to birds tweeting at
that time.
