Keraton Kanoman
A palace split from Kasepuhan in 1678. You pass through the bustling Kanoman market to reach it, and its walls are likewise inlaid with European and Chinese porcelain plates.
Keraton Kanoman was founded by Sultan Anom I and is still home to members of the royal family. Its entrance is hidden behind the crowded Kanoman traditional market, and the contrast between the market’s noise and the white palace walls and courtyard is striking. The palace preserves the white sacred-beast royal carriage “Bariwara” and the “Harimau” carriage. Its walls are inlaid with porcelain plates from Delft in the Netherlands and from China. Overall it is plainer than Kasepuhan and attracts fewer visitors. Each year around the Maulud festival, the heirloom-washing ceremony is an important local folk event. Visits require a ticket, and a guide can be arranged.
