2. Jakarta Cathedral

   The Long History of Jakarta Cathedral Church Cathedral Church is one of the cultural heritage buildings in Jakarta. Before it was inaugurated as a cultural heritage building, the Cathedral Church has a long history in its construction. The construction of the Cathedral Church began when Pope Pius VII appointed Father Nelissen as an apostic prefect of the Dutch East Indies in 1807. It was then that the mission and development of the Catholic church in the archipelago began, including in Jakarta. In 1808, Father Nelissen together with Father Prinsen arrived in Batavia via the Fish Market Harbor. Then they met with Doctor FCH Assmus to discuss the establishment of the Catholic church in Batavia. In the same year, Father Nelissen got a loan of a bamboo house located in the southwest corner of Buffelvelt (now a religious department building) to be used as a church, and to use an officer's residence as a pastoral home. All these buildings were loaned from the government. A year later, Catholics received a block of land located northwest of Banteng Square near the floodgates in lieu of a bamboo house. However, due to lack of funds, the construction of the church that had been launched was nevertheless carried out. The church also begged the Batavian government to provide a small building located on the Kenanga street in the Senen area to become a Catholic church. The building belongs to the Governor who has been built since 1770 by Cornelis Casteleijn under the supervision of Gurbernur Van Der Parra. The Gubernemen building, which has an area of ​​around 8x23 square meters, also became a church for Malay and Dutch-speaking Protestants in Batavia. After renovations in various parts, the building was later turned into a Catholic church and can accommodate up to 200 congregations. Father Nelissen himself later blessed the church building, with Saint Ludovikus as its protector. The establishment of the catholic church did not last long, in 1826 there was a great fire that burned many buildings in the Senen area. Pastoral buildings also became victims, but the church buildings did not come on fire despite damage in some parts. After the fire, the damaged church building was not renovated, considering that the land was not the church's land. After this heartbreaking tragedy, Catholics finally found a new place to become a church. The place is the official residence of the generals who have been vacant. On behalf of Commissioner General Du Bus de Gisignies, Catholics were given buildings and land with an area of ​​34x15 square meters with several agreements. The contents of the agreement or other, the church was given the building along with the land by paying 20 thousand guilders. Then the church is entitled to get 10,000 guilders to repair the church. In addition, the church was also given a loan of eight guilders, which had to be repaid within a year. The trials did not stop there. In 1890 the Cathedral Church building collapsed, the incident occurred three days after the church celebrated Easter. One year after that, the church building was renovated in two stages, and the construction was completed within 10 years after construction had been hampered. Now, the church building which is located on Jalan Cathedrals, Pasar Baru Sawah Besar, Central Jakarta, has been upgraded since 1993 to become a cultural heritage protected by the government.   In general, the building of the Cathedral Church is European in neo gothic style. Built by an architect named Ir MJ Hulswit, the Cathedral Church building is equipped with high doors and many windows. The windows are decorated with paintings that explain the events of the cross that have been experienced by Jesus Christ. Directly below the painting, on the right and left sides of the church are booths which are used as a place for confession. While at the front there is a sacred altar given by Commissioner General Du Bus de Gisignies. Despite being old, the altar table is still used as the main altar in various mass. The Cathedral Church is one of Indonesia's cultural heritages that needs to be preserved and preserved. Inside are libraries and museums that explain the history of the spread of Catholicism in the land of Jakarta. In addition, the location of the Cathedral Church which is opposite the Istiqlal Mosque indicates that long ago Indonesian people have lived in a very high sense of tolerance and togetherness.

5. Pelabuhan Sunda Kelapa

   Sunda Kelapa, better known as Pasar Ikan (meaning fish market) is located at the mouth of the Ciliwung River. The fish catch of the day was auctioned in the early morning at the old fish market. The street leading to it was lined with shops selling all sorts of shells, dehydrated turtles, lobsters and mostly everything the seafarer might need. This 500-year-old harbor area was a vital link to markets of the outside world for the 15th century kingdom of Pajajaran. It was formerly the harbor town of Sunda Kelapa where the Portuguese traded with the Hindu Kingdom of Pajajaran in the early 16th century. Since than this port has belonged to the portuguese and Dutch.
