Sumur Gumuling

5 Brilian Aulia - 6 months ago

Sumur Gumuling areas is a mosque used by kings in ancient times. The location is still in the same complex as Taman Sari. However, to get here you have to pass through a resident's house to get to the entrance of the Gumuling Sumur alley.

As the name is unique and philosophical, gumuling means turning in a circle and in the middle of the building there is a well.

The well is located right at the bottom of the stairs that meet each other in the middle.During the current pandemic, this site is partially closed, especially at the stairs that meet each other in the middle.

In late 2022 still closed. Allegedly for covid, as if the virus lurks in bare stone architecture. Honestly closed because of laziness, ineptitude, some combination of the two.

Sumur Gumuling is rounding well in English.
This place was the Sultan's Mosque. Placed at underground alley, trough the villages small road from Taman Sari.

This place has two floors. We through a bit dark alley to get to the centre which has more light and nice for photo spot. Since this built hundreds years ago, you can smell and sense of old wall. Just like its name, the place is rounding and like underground dome. No wheelchair access and no other facilities but nice spot to take photos and the history of course.

Another photo spot.. but this one is different, this place have history. Back in the time this is a mosque and around that is water.. and another story tell before the mosque is under the water. If you want go there you must walking is more easy if you walk from water castle (taman sari) no sign in there but you can ask or use map for walking

First time came here and I admit I was overwhelmed. It is such a historic place which is worth preserving. Yes, it's really instagrammable. Sometimes it's so crowded. And one thing about the guides, yes, they are so nice and have a great service but better not to give your cameras or smartphones to them, they are bad photographers!

This historical place is awesome. It's so instagramable on this spot. Most of visitors had been stepping by on their photographs. It is part of what so called as Taman Sari area, formerly a place for the ladies of the Jogjakarta Royal Palace.

The place was hard to be found, even my driver didn't know the exact place or the gate. I went there on weekend and it was so crowded. The guides were all busy no one waited on the front table so i couldn't buy any ticket and that means i couldn't go down to the well. That's kinda disappointing. But maybe next time i'll be luckier
