Pulo Kenongo is an island which was created in Taman Sari in Yogyakarta and was finished with a 2 floors building named Gedung Kenongo. This building has some rooms and at the top of the rooms we can have a view at the Kraton's Ngayogyakarta village and it also serves as the control tower to control if there's anything wrong in the village. Because this building was surrounded by water so people were thinking this building was floating.
