The Gedung Agung, known as The Great Building, stands as one of Indonesia's six presidential palaces, situated in Yogyakarta. Spanning approximately 4.4 hectares, it resides opposite Fort Vredeburg. Initially erected in 1824 on the estate of Dutch resident Anthonie Hendriks Smissaert, its construction, designed by architect A. Payen, was impeded by the Java War, only reaching completion in 1832. Despite an earthquake's destruction in 1867, the palace was rebuilt by 1869. With Yogyakarta's elevation to provincial status in 1927, it served as the governor's office, later becoming the presidential residence during Indonesia's struggle for independence, hosting President Sukarno from 1946 to 1949. Post-Independence, it evolved into a venue for commemorations, including the Independence Day parade and celebrations marking the declaration's anniversary since 1991.
