pleasure gardens, the Water Castle. Built in 1758 by Sultan Hamengkubuwono I, the central
courtyard 'with the nymph-baths has been restored. The Water Castle is located in the old part
of the city within walking distance from the Bird Market. A number of batik workshops line the
avenue leading to the pleasure garden's entrance.
