After the royal palace was completed, the name of Sala Village was later changed to Surakarta Hadiningrat . The palace was also a silent witness to the transfer of sovereignty of the Sultanate of Mataram by Susuhunan Pakubuwana II to the VOC in 1749 . After the 1755 Giyanti Agreement , the palace was later made an official palace for Kasunanan Surakarta .
