Highlights of Jakarta

Jakarta


Indonesia is Indonesia. A Southeast Asian nation made up of thousands of volcanic islands. It is home to hundreds of ethnic groups speaking many different languages. In addition it is known for its vast wildlife and beautiful scenery. In the heart of it all is Jakarta, its capital. It is home to a number of different cultures which influenced its architecture, food and way of life.

Jakarta has a rich historical background. It was named after the sanskrit word Jayakarta which means ‘victorious deed’. The north coast area of western Java including Jakarta was the location of the prehistoric Buni culture. This flourished from 400 BC to 100 AD. The area in and around modern Jakarta was part of the 4th-century Sundanese kingdom of Tarumanagara, one of the oldest Hindu kingdoms in Indonesia. The area of North Jakarta around Tugu became a populated settlement in the early 5th century. But it was during the colonial era, that Jakarta was taken over by the Dutch. It was only in 1949 when Jakarta gained true independence.

Jakarta is home to the largest Mosque in South East Asia, the Istiqlal Mosque. It is a beautiful mosque in terms of architectural greatness. Jakarta was first established as a capital city by Dutch colonials, and the area that is now called Kota Tua served as the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company. The area has several old, European-style buildings that still stand today. Tourists can tour the place by foot or rent a charmingly decorated bicycle. Sunda Kelapa is an old port first established during the Pajajaran Hindu Kingdom. Once serving as a main port, the area now only lodges the traditional pinisi ship. Other than its historical significance, this harbour also retains its aesthetic beauty, owed to charming colourful ships and clear blue skies.
