Founded in  1745,  it was built on a magical rather than a rational consideration. It’s located in the  crosscurrent of two rivers, the Bengawan Solo and the Pepe. According to the Javanese cosmology, the inner city comprised of the kraton complex called Baluwarti and the alun-alun (palace square), all located inside the beteng (palace wall). Outside the palace wall were houses of the sentana (nobility), the abdi dalem (retainers) and the commonners. The coming of the Europeans, the Chinese and the Arabs formerly did not alter the cosmology concept of the city. Inthe beginning of the twentieth century, due to the advance of technology and the expansion of business, service and leisure, the city was changed. It was in development period that the most change towards a modern city took place. The skeleton of the city remained the same, but the environment became entirely different.
