It is said that, Taman Sari is built in a former Old Palace, Pesanggrahan Garjitawati, established by His Majesty Pakubuwono II as a resting place for carriage which will go to Imogiri. Although officially a royal garden, but some of the buildings indicate Taman Sari serves as the last bastion when the castle was attacked by the enemy. It is said that one of the architects of the garden is a Portuguese better known as Demat Tegis.
Taman Sari complex can be divided into at least 4 parts. The first part is an artificial lake located in the west. The next section is a building located in the south of the artificial lake, among others Pemandian Umbul Binangun (Baths Binangun Bannerman). The third part is Pasarean Ledok Sari and Kolam Garjitawati (Swimming Garjitawati) located in the southern part of the second. The last part is the eastern part of the first and second, and extends eastward to southeastern complex Magangan.
