Built around the year 1632 by Sultan Agung, the largest Islamic Mataram kings, the building is more patterned grave Hindu buildings. The gate of the tomb made of red brick structure without cement Bentar shaped temple. Entering the tomb of the kings of Mataram clearly not the same as entering the cemetery. to enter the tomb of Sultan Agung, then in addition to traditional Javanese dress, we must remove footwear, also must pass through three gates. Even that can directly visit the graves of the kings were too limited to close family or other community king who received special permission from the Sultan of Yogyakarta and Surakarta. Therefore, the pilgrims who are not ready to lay dressed in traditional Javanese, have only seen the first gate is made of carved teak wood and Javanese letters written hundreds of years old, with a latch and padlock the door of the old. Only the cemetery caretaker who can open the gate. If after all the ordinary people could see "the content" behind the first gate, it was when the royal family came, the gates opened wide, and the public can look for a while before the gate was closed. The same curiosity that led to the mystery of the tomb of the king of Mataram maintained.
