Tomb of Princess from Champa
Lying to the north east of the Kolam Segaran is a Muslim tomb dating from the year A.D. 1448. Popular belief has it that this is the grave of a princess from Champa (Vietnam), who married the last king of Majapahit and converted him to Islam. The princess is further connected with the Wali Songo, or 'nine saints' of Islam, who were instrumental in spreading the new religion throughout Java during the 15th and 16th centuries.
