Imogiri Nobel Cemetery

Imogiri cemetery is located about 17 km southeast of Yogyakarta. Perched on a hilltop, it is reachable by hiking on 345 stairs of stone. This cemetery was constructed in 1645 by Sultan Agung, the first king of Mataram. Imogiri has been the burial site for the royal descendant since then. However, Javanese people, especially Yogyanese and Solonese still regard it as a holy place of Javanese Culture. Visitors who want to go inside the cemetery have to wear traditional Javanese dress that one can hire on the spot.
