The locations of the former
kraton have been determined by historical records or archaeological efforts. Former
kraton include: •
Kraton Ratu Boko in the east of Yogyakarta, in the
Prambanan area. The structure dates from the 9th century and is thought to belong to the
Sailendra or
Mataram Kingdom. However, local inhabitants named this site after
King Boko, the legendary king in
Roro Jonggrang folklore. • Kraton of Majapahit in
Trowulan, Mojokerto, the capital of the former
Majapahit. Sites such as Pendopo Agung Majapahit are thought to be remnants of the Kraton of Majapahit. In
