Kuto Besak, also Benteng Kuto Besak (Indonesian "Kuto Besak Fortress") is an 18th-century kraton (Indonesian forted palace) in Palembang, South Sumatra. Kuto Besak was the center of the Sultanate of Palembang before its abolition by the Dutch colonial government. The fort was constructed in 1780 and took seventeen years to complete.[1] Kuto Besak was inaugurated in 1797,[1] marked by the transfer of the royal residence from the older Kuto Lamo to Kuto Besak.
