Nice heritage place to visit, enjoyed seeing historical building and an old town..clean and memorable..

Jakarta Old Town or Kota Tua is an area to remind Batavia or now Jakarta of the centuries of Indonesian history dominated by Europeans. In the 16th century, the Dutch established a base here that was the centre of commerce in the region. Because of its strategic position and access to natural resources, it quickly became an important hub across the Indonesian archipelago. This area is oddly stayed relatively small.
Just a century ago at the start of the 1900s, Jakarta only had a population of about 150,000 people. Since then, it has grown to a size of up to 28 million in the greater urban area.The history of that small colonial origin has almost been lost in the wave of development that has washed over the city. It has been preserved is only withing 1.3 km2 area of Kota Tua.
Sadly, only some little buildings have been protected as it should have been more. For me, it is a nice visit to see old Dutch Colonial architecture.
