The Southern Alun-alun of Yogyakarta, locally known as Alun-Alun Kidul or Alkid, is a popular public space in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It is a gathering place for locals and tourists. It is famous for its vibrant atmosphere, traditional activities, and as a hub of cultural experiences. Unlike most cities with a single town square, Yogyakarta has two prominent squares: the Alun-Alun Kidul in the south and the Alun-Alun Lor in the north. Alun-Alun Kidul, which means "Southern Square" in Javanese, functions as the "backyard" of the Keraton Yogyakarta (Yogyakarta Sultan’s Palace). Alun-Alun Lor, or "Northern Square," is considered the palace’s main forecourt.[1]
