Visit the famous 'Keraton Kasepuhan, Cirebon (sultan of Kasepuhan royal palace). Supposed to be about 500 years old.
Entrance ticket is Rp. 3,000
Bring your camera in another Rp. 1,000
This ancient palace has now became a museum. Since Cirebon is a vibrant ancient port. The king received many gifts from European countries and China used to adorn and decorate the whole palace. During the Ming's period, a Chinese princess was married to a king here. You will find many Ming's porcelains stuck to different walls in the palace.

If Kasepuhan Palace using many ceramic ware from Europe as murals or wall decoration, here we can find so many Chinese ceramic [made by Yuan dynasty] put on the wall. See the pinky building here? Well

Built at 1588 and Sultan Badriddin becomes the first king here. Situated nearby the local market at Jalan Lemah Wungkuk. The things that make me ‘weird’ to be here is ... several buildings are pinky!!! I think white or broken white more beautiful and gorgeous, isn’t it? But still, this palace mirrored something great from the past. The reigning king right now is Sultan Jalaludin.
