SOLO, or SAURA-CORTA, an inland town of Java, the capital of a district, and the residence of an emperor. It is large and populous, intersected with broad and shaded avenues or streets, running at right angles. The emperor's palace is very spacious, and comprises several palaces in its area. The European town and port are very neat. The resident's house is also a large and handsome building.
