From Monas we continue our journey to Kota Tua. Kota Tua is an area of Dutch colonization inheritance which was well-known as Batavia in the 17th century. At Kota Tua area you can see old buildings with architecture style influenced by the Dutch or European architecture style, Chinese and even some of them with combination of Dutch and Chinese architecture. We turn into a block of buildings and in the middle of it is a Fatahillah square, where usualy on holiday we can find some intresting attraction. Luckly there is an attraction going on when we got in there, it was traditional art of Kuda Lumping (next post). So i unsheathed my camera and hunt them (^o^).
