The attraction of Jakarta is the number of historic sites, but unfortunately his condition very much of concern.
One is the Port of "Sunda Kelapa", which supposedly is the largest trading port after Malacca.
This port in the 12th century is an area of the Kingdom of Sunda, the capital in Pakuan Pajajaran (which is now the city of Bogor). Even supposedly this port has existed since the time of the Kingdom of Tarumanegara.
The port of Sunda kingdom belongs to this very famous, make the port visited by ships from Palembang, Tanjungpura, Malacca, Makassar, and traders from India and China. From this port pepper, rice, porcelain, coffee, silk, cloth, incense, horses, wine, until the gold is traded.
A Portuguese explorer, Tome Pires, who landed at Sunda Kelapa written around the year 1512-1515 in the document, that the Port of Palm Sunda to buffer a number of ports in the archipelago such as Sumatra, Palembang, Laue, Tanjungpura, Malacca, Makassar, and Madura.
Modern ships in the canal east, seen transporting various commodities "wheight" about to be taken out of Java. While some traditional boats resting on the west canal carried goods that "lighter".
It was from this port, the precursor to the birth of Jakarta.
The fall of Malacca to the Portuguese through the hands of Alfonso d 'Albuquerque in 1511 brought a new history sheet.
Portuguese make treaties with the Kingdom of Pasundan which entitles the Portuguese to build warehouses and fortresses in the region. In return, the Portuguese will help the kingdom Pasundan who was then Hindu kingdom of Islam against the attacks of Demak.The agreement is then written on a stone inscription named Padrao. Padrao inscriptions can be found at the National Museum (Museum Gajah).
Demak Kingdom forces attacks Cirebon assisted under the leadership of Fatahillah to expel the Portuguese finally won the "Sunda Kelapa".
Fatahillah was eventually changed the name of Sunda Kelapa to "White Rose" which means "city of victory", on June 22, 1527. Date is then used as "birth date" of the city. End of the 16th century, Jan Pieterszoon Coen won the White Rose. J.P. Coen then build a new city, called by the name of Batavia, who allegedly is located in the Old City site now.
Port of "Sunda Kelapa" capacity that can not accommodate the number of ships coming in, making the Dutch government to build the Port of Tanjung Priok.
In addition, the Dutch government is also building a tramway pulled by horses to carry commodities from Tanjung Priok to Batavia in 1869 and the first railroad between Batavia-Buitenzorg (Bogor) in 1873.
