Next, visit Old Town Batavia (Kota Tua), originally called Oud Batavia, established in 1526 after the Demak Kingdom captured the area. This district features colonial-era architecture and historical sites.
Continue to Sunda Kelapa Harbor, an active port since 1527, historically significant for trade during Portuguese rule. It remains a stopover for inter-island ships carrying commodities such as wood, groceries, and building materials.
Explore Chinatown, a settlement established by ethnic Chinese communities before European arrival. The Chinese helped support Batavia’s economic growth and security, brought in by the VOC to aid the city.
