Batavia Castle

Batavia Castle was the administrative center of Dutch East India Company (VOC) in Asia.

[2] In 1629, the small fort was enlarged and strengthened to serve as a defense for the city of Batavia from the siege of the troops of the Mataram Sultanate.

The request was granted by Prince Jayawikarta, ruler of Jayakarta, with a large amount of money (1200 riyals).

The southern moat of Batavia Castle is now a residential area, shops, and various types of businesses such as tarpaulins.

Simultaneously with the construction, archaeological excavation was also conducted in order to searching evidence of the existence of Batavia Castle.
