Dirgantara Statue, Pancoran F or centuries since its establishment in 1527 when it was known as Sunda Kelapa, Jakarta has been a busy port where merchants from China, India, Arabia and later Portugal, Spain, England and Holland came to exchange silks, porcelain, and exotic goods for spices, tea, coffee, camphor, sandalwood, and other precious produce from all over the Indonesian islands. Today, as the seat of Indonesia’s national government, the country’s financial, trading and business center and the heart of the country’s burgeoning young middle class, Jakarta attracts investors and business people from around the world to this expanding city. And so, next to Dutch heritage buildings The National Museum SCBD Area found in Old Batavia, colonial mansions in Central Jakarta or cramped settlements around, Jakarta boasts modern high rise buildings, luxurious top of the line hotels, a plethora of modern air-conditioned malls housing the world’s top high class brands, wide toll roads and flyovers, as well as the bane of modern cities : traffic jams. Jakarta is also the nation’s airline hub. International airlines make Jakarta one of their main airports to call, while the ultra-busy Soekarno-Hatta airport is also the hub for almost all domestic air carriers. 04 www.jakarta-tourism.go.id Jakarta, is where it all happens. During Dutch colonial days from the 17th century on, the city- then called Batavia – was for three hundred years the seat of hegemony of the Dutch Government over the then Netherlands East Indies. After World War II, it was also Jakarta where, on 17th August 1945 Indonesia proclaimed her hard-fought Independence from the yoke of colonialization. Towards the end of the 20th century, it was again Jakarta that saw the fight of the people for Reform and Democratization of the country’s institutions. Kemayoran Area Jakarta Heritage & Culture 05 Sunda Kelapa Port Historic Jakarta Pre-colonial, Colonial, Independence and Modern Indonesia The oldest part of Jakarta lies on the north west coast of Java where the Ciliwung river pours out into the Bay of Jakarta. T his harbour town was first known as Sunda Kelapa. But on 22 June 1527 Prince Fatahillah razed Sunda Kelapa and founded the town of Jayakarta on the same site. This is the date that Jakarta takes as the establishment of the city. Jayakarta was a thriving port where traders from China, India, Arabia and later the Europeans, as well as those from all over the archipelago exchanged their wares. Jan Pieterszoon Coen In 1619, the Dutch VOC under Jan Pieterszoon Coen destroyed Jayakarta and built a new town on the west bank of the Ciliwung river, which he named Batavia, after the Batavieren, the Dutch tribal ancestors. Batavia was planned similar to Dutch towns, in a series of blocks cut by canals and defended by a fortified wall and a moat. This part of Batavia was completed in 1650. Old Batavia was where the Europeans lived, while the Chinese, Javanese and other indigenous groups were relegated outside the city entrenchment. VOC Shipyards Interior 06 www.jakarta-tourism.go.id The Jakarta History Museum In its heydays, Batavia became known as the Jewel of the East, the seat of the VOC and later it became the seat of the Dutch Government over the sprawling East Indies archipelago.

Jakarta Heritage & Culture 11 Indonesia’s Proclamation of Independence Document Museum Historic Jakarta National Archives Building T he elegant red brick National Archives Museum - known as Museum Arsip Nasional, is located on busy Jalan Gajah Mada. It once housed the Dutch colonial Archives, and was originally built in the 18th century as residence of the Dutch East Indies Company’s (VOC) Governor General Reinier de Klerk. Today, however, it has become a museum which is open to the public and can be used for romantic gala dinners or wedding receptions in exclusive heritage setting. When the site was about to be demolished, a group of Dutch businessmen founded the Stichting Cadeau Indonesia (Society for the Gift to Indonesia) to collect funds to restore the building as a museum to donate this to the Indonesian government on the country’s 50th Independence Day in 1995. Restoration was however, completed only in 1998. The main red brick bulding has two floors with a high roof. It has a wide ground floor. Its main door is beautifully carved and has holes for ventilation. Here was the main drawing room of the governor general. Today there are still a collection of antique furniture and an arsenal of guns. On the ground floor can still be seen ceramic tiles similar to those found in the Palace of the Kasepuhan in Cirebon, depicting stories from the Bible. A staircase leads to the private quarters on the upper floor where are offices and a dining room (where Hillary Clinton was hosted a dinner during one of her visits to Jakarta). Here one can see old maps of Batavia, and the bedroom of Governor General Reinier de Klerk. In 2001 the National Archives museum received the UNESCO Award of Excellence 2001. Jl.

Originally built in the 18th century, this neo-classic bulding with Doric columns was designed by Drossares. The Palace was the residence of the Dutch colonial governor generals. Since Indonesia’s Independence it became the official residence of the President of Indonesia. The Monument is often used for Festivals including New Year’s Eve celebrations. Every Independence Day on 17th August, the official State Independence Day Ceremony takes place in front of the palace, officiated by the President and attended by the entire Cabinet and the Diplomatic Corps. With pomp and ceremony the national red-andwhite flag is then raised and flown over the 17 meters high flagpole in front of the palace.

Around the square is the Catholic Church with the century old Sancta Ursula girls school attached. Opposite the Catholic Church is Jakarta’s iconic Istiqlal Mosque. Further down Jalan Merdeka Selatan comes the Menteng area, which was once the residential area of the Dutch elite. The Menteng area is now a conservation area, where no houses may be altered without special permit, and therefore it remains an upmarket residential part of town where are colonial houses with manicured gardens. The Istiqlal Mosque T he grand Istiqlal Mosque of Jakarta, was inspired by Indonesia’s first President, Soekarno, but took 17 years in construction. Finally on 22 February 1978, Indonesia’s second President, Soeharto inaugurated it as the country’s national mosque. The Istiqlal mosque is the largest mosque in South East Asia both in structure and capacity, as it can accommodate congregations of up to 120,000 people.

Today, both establishments continue to cooperate with one another, especially to accommodate the parking of cars during religious festivals. The parking lot of the mosque is used by the church congregation during Easter and Christmas midnight mass, and vice versa, during Eid prayers, parking is extended to the Cathedral’s parking lot. The Cathedral was consecrated in 1901 having been rebuilt at the same location where previously stood the old cathedral, which was built in 1829 but collapsed in 1890. Above the church are three wrought iron spires, the two highest are 60 meters tall, while the central spire is 45 meters. The building itself has two floors, with the ground floor being for the holding of mass. The upper floor used to be for the choir, but has now been converted into a museum, which holds relics for rituals during the days of the Dutch East Indies, as also the history of the spread of Catholicism in Indonesia.

This avenue was earnarked exclusively for highrise buildings. And so today, one sees only tall buildings on the Sudirman-Thamrin 6 lanes avenue. President Soekarno, who was a civil engineer by education, also built the National Monument and the Istiqlal Mosque. Indonesia’s first highrise hotel, the Hotel Indonesia – now Hotel Indonesia Kempinski - was also built then, as was the Wisma Nusantara across this iconic Hotel Indonesia round-about fountain, today popular sites for political demonstrations. Soekarno also built the Bung Karno Sports Center at Senayan, where the entire complex was earlier designed as a huge Olympic-sized village. Today, though, the Senayan area also has five star hotels, the Jakarta Convention Center, shopping malls and Television stations. While the Sports Center is often used for super gigs where international celebrities perform for immense crowds. 20 www.jakarta-tourism.go.id Gelora Bung Karno Stadium The Hotel Indonesia Circle is today’s heart of the metropolitan city of Jakarta.

Parman Road & the Jabodetabek Region As Jakarta’s population grew by leaps and bounds, new suburbs emerged, absorbing the one-time rural villages or kampungs. The metropolitan capital spread to all directions, first adding the Kebayoran area, then Pondok Indah, in the South, but now growing east, north, further south and west until today, Jakarta has become one almost seamlessly with the adjoning towns of Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi. Fortunately, town planning has been such that each district is self contained where facilities like hospitals, schools, universities, shopping centers, religious buildings are all available within one neighbourhood. Yet the main problem remains since the thousands of offices in high rise buldings are still centralized so that millions of commuters who travel at peak hours in the morning and in the evening cause daily traffic snarls that are almost impossible to overcome, even with the construction of wide toll roads, overhead roads and traffic tunnels. Jakarta has a number of fine museums operated by the Government as well as privately owned. The Textile Museum The Textile Museum is definitely worth a visit. Located at Jalan Aipda K.S. Tubun in West Jakarta, the Museum is housed in an 19th century mansion originally owned by a Frenchman. In 1978 Indonesia’s then First Lady, Ibu Tien Soeharto, inaugurated it as the Textile Museum of Indonesia. The Museum has a comprehensive and well displayed collection of textiles produced in Indonesia. There are antique and new beautiful Batik pieces from Java, Batak ulos, Minangkabau Songket, Balinese grinsing, and other woven cloths from throughout the Indonesian Islands. Here are also displayed weaving instruments and equipment for the production of textiles. The Museum holds regular Batik classes. But, as like Museums in Indonesia, it is closed on Mondays. The 1928 Youth Pledge Museum Among the many historic buildings in Jakarta, the unassuming 1928 Youth Pledge Museum at Jalan Keramat Raya records a most significant moment in Indonesia’s modern history for Independence. In 1928, when the Indonesian islands were still a colony of the Netherlands, intellectual youths from many parts of Indonesia, with different cultural and religious backgrounds, convened the second Youth Congress in this building. On 28 October 1928, they unanimously pledged to create: “One Homeland, One Nation and One Language: Indonesia”. This Youth Pledge is recognized as the social contract upon which the Indonesian people declared their Independence on 17 August 1945, whereupon the Republic of Indonesia is founded. Jl.

Staunch Muslims, the Betawi blends the original Malay language with neighbouring Sundanese words, mixed with Javanese, Chinese, Indian, Arab and Dutch words. The wedding costume of the bride adopts the Chinese tradition of bright red embroidered top with a veil of golden tassels. Whereas the bridgroom wears very contrasting costume inspired by the Arab and Indian Dons. Roti Buaya 26 www.jakarta-tourism.go.id Jakarta Heritage & Culture 27 Betawi Culture and Traditions Setu Babakan : Betawi Cultural Village The Betawi also absorb music from different races, including from the colonial Portuguese, Dutch, Arab and Indian traders, as also from neigbouring West and Central Java, making it all their very own. For musical instruments they use the Sunda trumpet and drums, while from Europe they have adopted the trombone and guitar, as well as Chinese instruments. While inspired by Portuguese music this has resulted in the distinct Jakarta music genre popularly known as : Keroncong. Betawi Traditional Food With the large influx of peoples from across Indonesia since Independence, the indigenous Betawi have retreated to outlying areas, mostly to West and South Jakarta. With time there developed the Tanjidor , which uses the trombone, piston tenor, clarinet. This latter genre is said to have originated from the European plantations, since their tunes have European sounding names, such as Bananas, Delsi, Batalion, Welnes, and so on. But now they have become more local-sounding with tunes like JaliJali, Surilang, and the popular dangdut music. A Special Betawi Cultural Village covering 289 hectares has been set aside at Setu Babakan, where visitors can see and stroll through the village that has retained its original Betawi architecture and layout. Regular cultural performances are shown every Sunday from 2 pm to 4 pm, or dance training sessions of Betawi dances that include Sirih Kuning, Lenggang Nyai and others held each Sunday, Friday and Wednesdays. Every July a special Betawi Cultural Festival is held here that include wedding ceremonies, circumcision ceremonies, sevenmonths’ pregnancy rites, and more. Visitors can also go fishing while enjoying the local cuisine and desserts at the various stalls and restaurants.

Lenggang Nyai expresses both the gracefulness and vivaciousness of the Betawi woman. The Tanjidor This typical Betawi music known as Tanjidor is said to have originated in the Dutch plantations located in the suburbs around Batavia, such as at Depok, Cibinong, Bogor, Bekasi and Tangerang, where local slaves used to play for their Dutch masters. When slavery was abolished in the 19th century, these bands went around busking to earn their living. This tradition of busking continues until today. The European influence is clearly visible from the musical instruments used that include a trumpet, bass, clarinet, cymbal and others. Nowadays, Tanjidor can be found fused with the Malay-origin Gambang Kromong music that include the tambourine, beduk, gendang, kempul and more. The Tanjidor 30 www.jakarta-tourism.go.id Ondel-Ondel Ondel-ondel are the giant puppets that are inseparable from the Betawi culture and are now the icon of Jakarta. These are made on bamboo frames to allow persons to carry them around from the inside. Ondel-ondel usually come in pairs, the male wears a red mask carrying a gallant moustache and sideburns wearing dark colored clothes, while the female mask is white with red lipstick. She usually wears bright colours. Both wear the typical Malay spiked headdress, called kembang kelapa. These ondel-ondel puppets usually lead parades at weddings or circumcisions, followed by the bridal pair and families, or by the circumcised boy and relatives, strutting around the village, gaily accompanied by bands playing Tanjidor or Gambang kromong music Created by Wiwik Widiastuti in 1998, choreographer from Yogyakarta, the Lenggang Nyai has become a popular part of the Betawi dance repertoire and is often shown at art and tourism events overseas. This dance has elements from the Cokek and the Mask dance and distinct Chinese influences. Wearing bright red or green dresses and Chinese headbands, the girls sway their body, hands, and feet with graceful and brisk movements. Another version called the Tari Sembah Nyai, created by Dadi Djaja is danced to welcome guests, following Malay dance movements. Dharma Bakti Temple Chinese Heritage in Jakarta Ever since the first century AD, China and the Indonesian islands already had close contact either between the Chinese emperor and the Indonesian kings as well in religion and trade contexts. Chinese princesses are known to have been given in marriage to a number of kings in Yogyakarta, Solo, Cirebon, Bangka and Belitung and in Western Borneo. But the influx of Chinese to Indonesia seriously began in the 17th century when the Dutch East India Company, VOC, attracted Chinese mainlanders to immigrate to the Indonesian islands to work and trade. In Batavia, capital of the VOC, although the Chinese were needed by the Dutch, yet the Chinese community together with the indigenous population were kept to settle outside the city walls and entrenchments. Many therefore, settled and traded along the Pintu Besar area by the Ciliwung river, that is known as “Glodok” or Jakarta’s Chinatown. Glodok stretches from Pancoran all the way to Jalan Gunung Sahari. A number of Chinese also settled further west in today’s Tangerang, which is now in the neighboring Banten province. These original settlers in Tangerang are known as the Benteng Chinese. Jakarta Heritage & Culture 31 Chinese Heritage Toko Merah at Glodok L ocated at Jalan Kali Besar Barat 17, along the once busy Ciliwung river, in the subdistrict of Roa Malaka, Toko Merah was originally the home of Willem Baron van Imhoff, who later became Governor General of the East India Company in 1743-1750. In its long history, the building was converted into a maritime academy from 1743-1755, the first and most prestigious maritime academy in the Far East at the time, then it became a Guest House for high ranking officials (Heerenlogement) from 1787 – 1808. Dharma Bakti Temple As in the early centuries China prohibited women from emigrating, the immigrating men married local women, thus creating a fusion and acculturation between Chinese and local Malay, Javanese, and other indigenous traditions. This fusion is known as the Peranakan culture. The Peranakan culture is most pronounced in their wedding ceremonies, music and dance and in particular in the fusion in food and cuisine, where the Chinese absored the local cultures, and vice versa, local communities absorbed Chinese cultural elements into their existence. A number of well-preserved Chinese buildings that can still be admired today can be seen in Toko Merah, at Jalan Kali Besar that clearly shows Chinese influences. Another is the newly restored Candranaya building along Jalan Gajah Mada. Both Toko Merah and the Candranaya are now open 32 www.jakarta-tourism.go.id for Seminars, weddings and other large gatherings. Petak Sembilan is another neighbourhood that still exudes an aura of the original Chinese settlements. Here is the oldest Chinese temple in Jakarta, called the Jin De Yuan or Dharma Bakti Temple, built in 1650 . Willian Bligh, commander of the Bounty, whose deputy staged a mutiny on board ship on 28 April 1789 was once a guest here. This mutiny was made famous through the film Mutiny on the Bounty, starring Anthony Hopkins as Bligh and Mel Gibson as deputy commander Christian Fletcher. Around Petak Sembilan you will find local Chinese stores selling typical Chinese sweets and other Chinese knick-knacks, drugstores selling Chinese medicines, and best of all local restaurants selling original Chinese food such as roast duck, fried dumplings, bakso meatballs. Here is also the typical Chinese coffee shop called “Kopi Tiam” and the Ice Café called “Tak Kie”, still selling all in the “old ways”. In 1851 the building was bought by a Chinese trader who painted the brick walls completely red. Since then it became known as the Red Shop or Toko Merah. The red color dominates both its exterior as well as its interior. This part of Jakarta’s Chinatown comes alive with lanterns and lion dances most especially during Chinese New Year Celebrations. During this period, the building became the center of slave trade in this Dutch colony. Traces from this period in history can be seen in the names of surrounding districts, such as Manggarai, for example, which was the village for slaves from Flores, Kampung Bali for those from Bali and Kampung Ambon from Ambon in the Moluccas, and others. In the 18th century, ships could sail into the Ciliwung at Kali Besar (meaning the Large Canal), and dock right in front of the row of shops here, loading and unloading their precious ware. This area was then a “Central Business District” of the time, with busy traffic on land as well as on the river. Nowadays, though, with the silting of the river, no boats can enter the Kali Besar although on land traffic remains heavy. Toko Merah is built in 18th century Baroque architecture. Its ornamentation is a mix of classic European and Chinese décor, where its Baroque staircase is most impressive. Jakarta Heritage & Culture 33 Portuguese and British Heritage The Candranaya Building Although once an important stand-alone building, the Candranaya is today tucked away among highrise buildings in the Green Central City by Hotel Novotel at Jalan Gajah Mada 188. Built in the 18th century, this ancient Chinese building was owned by a rich Chinese merchant by the name of Khouw Tian Sek. Candranaya has a distinctive Chinese architecture with spacious rooms, where the interior of the house is decorated with intricate ornaments while its roof top has a tou-kung crown which is also fully ornamented. Estimated to have been originally built in the early 19th century, nonetheless, the The Candranaya Building Pecenongan Road Portuguese and British The Candranaya Building exact date when it was actually constructed remains unclear. At the end of World War II, the Sin Ming Hui social organization made the house its head office. The organization helped and gave information to the war-stricken Chinese community. Sin Ming Hui conducted many works for social purposes. They established health clinics, sports clubs as well as arranged educational activities and organized a club in photography. In 1962 the Sin Ming Hui social organization changed its name to the Tjandra Naja and later to Candranaya. Pecenongan Although today one can find Chinese restaurants of all description around any corner of the city, yet for authentic Chinese food with that specific Chinatown ambience, a visit to the Pecenongan food street is a must. Located between Jalan Juanda and Jalan Batu Tulis Raya, Pecenongan comes alive only in the evenings, when stalls selling a large variety of foods will satisfy your tastebuds. 34 www.jakarta-tourism.go.id Heritage T he Portuguese were the first Europeans who set foot on Java in the 16th century in the search for the legendary Spice Islands. Although the Portuguese did not dominate on Java, yet their heritage from the short period here can still be seen in two Portuguese churches and in the still popular “keroncong” music. Keroncong is the Indonesian musical fusion from the original Portuguese music known as “fado” introduced by sailors and slave trade ships in the 16th century. The music travelled from Goa in India to Malacca and finally to Tugu. Keroncong accompanies the Moresco, a dance of Spanish influence that resembles the polka but danced at a slower pace. In the process of acculturation Keroncong which was originally played on stringed instruments added the flute and gamelan instruments. In the 1960s Keroncong was again popularized by Police General Hugeng, through his well known band The Hawaiian Seniors, which again added elements from the Moluccas and Hawaii. Jakarta Heritage & Culture 35 Arab and Indian Heritage Portuguese and British Heritage T Arab and Indian he British, who reigned for a short period during the time of Governor General Sir Stamford Raffles, (1811-1815) also left behind the Anglican church which is still in use in the Menteng area. The Anglican Church Heritage T The Anglican Church The Sion Church Also known as All Saints Church in the Menteng area, built in the Tropical Gregorian Style, is the only Anglican Church in Jakarta. In its churchyard are buried soldiers who fell during World War I and the war against the Japanese in World War II. Jl.

It is a simple church but its surrounding community still celebrates Christmas in a special way accompanied by keroncong music and dances. Jl. Raya Tugu No. 20, Kampung Tugu North Jakarta 36 www.jakarta-tourism.go.id here are two mosques in Old Batavia that were built in the 18th and 19th century. These are the An-Nawier mosque and the Masjid Langgar Tinggi at Pekojan, now more familiarly known as Kampung Arab or the Arab village, in West Jakarta. Before the Arabs, the neighborhood was dominated by Muslim Indians from Bengal. The name Pekojan is said to derive from the word “Khoja” or “Kaja”, an area in India. On the other hand, the word “khoja” is also the name of the headdress worn by men from the neighbouring province of Banten. So Banten soldiers who fought with Prince Fatahillah, founder of Jakarta, could well have stayed in this area. And indeed, as Jakarta and later Batavia was a busy international trading port, the town was always full of traders from different ethnic groups who formed their own communities and settled together in villages called “kampungs”. The An-Nawier mosque - also known as the Pekojan Mosque, in the Pekojan subdistrict, was built in 1749 AD, (or 1180 H according to the Islamic calendar), by Syarifa Fatimah binti Husen Al Idrus. This is the largest and oldest mosque in Old Jakarta and has a number of unique elements. It has an L-shaped floorplan for congregational prayers with capacity for 2,000 persons. The roof is supported by 33 pillars, symbolizing the 33 holy verses that are to be cited after prayers. Outside the mosque stands a 17 meters minaret which closely resembles a light house. According to stories related by the locals, in the past, whenever there were uprisings against colonial powers, Indonesian freedom fighters would find shelter in this narrow tower, safe from their pursuers. Walking from this mosque to Masjid Langgar Tinggi, one passes a bridge called Jembatan Kambing – or the Goats’ Bridge over the Angke river. This bridge used to lead to the slaughterhouse for the poor goats. But the slaughterhouse is now no more, although many of those of Arab descent who still live here continue to raise Jakarta Heritage & Culture 37 General Information Arab and Indian Heritage Use International Calling Code and Jakarta Area Code (+62 21) for calling from your country.

Arriving at Masjid Langgar Tinggi, or the Tall Mosque, one understands instantly why this mosque is so called, since it consists of two storeys, something quite unusual in those early days. Masjid Langgar Tinggi, which is located along the Angke river, is said to have been built in the year 1829 AD (or in 1249 H An-Nawier Mosque according to the Islamic calendar year). Its upper floor, where prayers are held, is made of wood, and is still original and remains in good condition until today. The ground floor houses the person guarding the mosque. Its architecture is a fusion of moorish and colonial with Chinese and Javanese elements. Its pillars are in classic European design, the supports of its pillars are Chinese, and their base is Javanese. Its pulpit comes from Palembang, South Sumatra.
