The central axis of Yogyakarta was defined by Sultan Hamengkubuwono I in the 18th century and has been one of the centers of government and Javanese cultural tradition ever since. The six-kilometer-long north-south axis, centered on the Kraton (Royal Palace), connects Mount Merapi to the Indian Ocean and features several important cultural sites along the way. The axis embodies core Javanese beliefs related to the universe, including the understanding of the cycle of life.
