Gotagard has been the silver center of Yogyakarta since the 1930s, but this quiet old town is now a suburb of Yogyakarta. It was the capital of the Kingdom of Matalan and was founded in 1582. Kemasan Street is the main street in the town, extending from the north into the town, lined with busy silverware workshops. Most stores sell similar goods, including hand-made bowls and boxes, high-quality silk jewelry and modern jewelry.
