an Indonesian historical and cultural heritage building located in South Square, Yogyakarta. This building was built during the reign of Sultan Hamengkubuwono I (1755–1792) under the name Siti Hinggil Kidul.
This building was originally used for war training for junior soldiers as well as a place for the Sultan to monitor the Grebeg ceremony. The rampogan event or the fight between humans and tigers, which was held in the South Square, can also be watched by the Sultan from this place. Later, the function of this building was expanded to become a place for cultural performances such as puppet shows.
