After Amangkurat II died, Karaton Kartasura was replaced by Amangkkurat III who was known as Sunan Mas. In his leadership, the governmet system was
influenced by the Dutch. But actually, Sunan Mas took sides on Untung Suropati, the man who rebelled against the Dutch. Because of that, Amangkurat III was seized by
Pangeran Puger who was later named Paku Buwono I through the Dutch’s aid.
Paku Buwono I died in 1719 and then Paku Buwono II replaced him. In his authority, the kingdom was revolted by Chinese. This reveolt was called Geger
Pecinan which effected the damage of Kartasura palace. Therefore, Kartasura palace was moved to Sala village and was named Karaton Surakarta Hadiningrat on
Wednesday, 17 February 1745. After Paku Buwono II died, there was a
disagreement among the king’s family to choose the next king. The Dutch interfered in the king
’s selection and it became worse. Finally, it could be settled by Giyanti agreement on 13 February 1755
where the region of kingdom was divided into two parts, Kasunanan palace in Surakarta and Kasultanan palace in Yogyakarta. Then, each kingdom was ruptured
into two parts, where Surakarta palace was divided into Kasunanan and Mangkunegaran and Yogyakarta palace was divided into Kasultanan and Pakualam.
In Karaton Surakarta Hadiningrat, the king ’s pedigree has reached to Paku
Buwono XIII. Under the administration of Paku Buwono XII, Karaton Surakarta Hadinigrat was opened on 23 March 1963 for public as a cultural tourist attraction.
