Pangeran Jayakarta Road
Pangeran Jayakarta Road is a major thoroughfare in Jakarta, Indonesia, named in honor of a 17th-century local hero, Prince Jayakarta, who resisted Dutch colonial forces. The road itself is a historic artery in the city’s old town, running through areas that were once part of the original Batavia settlement established by the Dutch East India Company (VOC). Today, it is a bustling commercial and transportation hub that reflects Jakarta’s layered colonial and modern history.
