Pasar Rakyat Giyanti Surakarta stands as a premier Type A public market located on Jl. Basuki Rahmat, Kerten, in the heart of Laweyan District, Surakarta City, Central Java. Designed with the principles of Inclusive Architecture and a Multi-Sensory Approach, this market ensures a welcoming and enjoyable experience for all visitors, regardless of background or ability.

With the tagline "Warisan Luhuring Tradisi, Panguripan Rakyat" (Heritage of Noble Traditions, Livelihood of the People), Pasar Rakyat Giyanti embodies a dual mission: to celebrate and preserve the cultural richness of Surakarta while becoming a vibrant economic hub that supports the livelihoods of its people.

The Legacy Behind the Name Giyanti

Surakarta, celebrated as Indonesia’s batik capital, owes much of its batik heritage to the historical events following the signing of the Giyanti Treaty. This pivotal agreement divided the Mataram Islamic Kingdom into two, reshaping political and territorial dynamics and leaving a profound impact on the region's history.

The name Giyanti symbolizes transformation, renewal, and continuity—a fitting inspiration for a market designed to honor Surakarta’s traditions while embracing progress. By weaving history and culture into its design, Pasar Rakyat Giyanti aspires to be more than a marketplace—it seeks to be a living symbol of the city’s enduring spirit and unity.
