Sunda Kelapa

Sunda Kelapa, better known as Pasar Ikan

(meaning fish market) is located at the

mouth of the Ciliwung River. The fish

catch of the day was auctioned in the early

morning at the old fish market. The street

leading to it was lined with shops selling all

sorts of shells, dehydrated turtles, lobsters

and mostly everything the seafarer might need.

This 500-year-old harbor area was a vital link to

markets of the outside world for the 15th

century kingdom of Pajajaran. It was formerly

the harbor town of Sunda Kelapa where the

Portuguese traded with the Hindu Kingdom of

Pajajaran in the early 16th century. Since than

this port has belonged to the portuguese and Dutch.
