Sunda Kelapa history<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: Historically, Sunda Kelapa was first mentioned in the
\n12th century as a port for the Javanese Hindus of the Pajajaran
\nKingdom, located near Bogor, West Java.<\/p>\n
Portuguese ships started to dock at Sunda Kelapa in 1512.
\nPortuguese soldiers returned to Pajajaran in 1552 to construct a
\nport but they were forestalled by Islamic troops under the
\nleadership of Fatahillah from the Sultanate of Banten.<\/p>\n
The first Dutch expedition visited the port in 1596. Governor
\nGeneral Jan Pieterszoon Coen of the VOC attacked Jakarta and
\nrenamed the city Batavia. Dutch rule then began in Java,
\naccording to The Jakarta Explorer.<\/p>\n
The Sunda Kelapa maritime tourist project was promulgated in a
\ngubernatorial decree in 1990. The area of the project encompasses
\nPenjaringan subdistrict in North Jakarta and four islands --
\nOnrust, Cipir, Kelor, and Untung Jawa -- in the Thousand Island
\nregency.<\/p>\n
The border of the heritage project area in Penjaringan is
\nKampung Luar Batang in the north, the railway in the south, Jl.
\nLodan and Ancol river in the east and Jl. Gedung Panjang in the
\nwest.<\/p>\n
Among the remaining heritage sites which could draw tourists
\nare Sunda Kelapa harbor, Menara Syahbandar (Lookout Tower), the
\nMaritime Museum, Luar Batang Mosque, VOC shipyard and Fish
\nMarket. --JP<\/p>",
