Last month we visited Semarang, capital and largest city of Central Java province in Indonesia. It was a major port during the Dutch colonial era, and is still an important regional center and port today. We filmed the walk around the Kota Lama area in the city.

The Kota Lama Semarang is also known as the Outstadt. From the geographical conditions, this area looks like a separate city with the nickname "Little Netherland". The Kota Lama Semarang is the silent witness to the history of Indonesia during the Dutch colonial period. In this place, there are approximately 50 ancient buildings that still stand firmly and have a history of colonialism in the city. Building's architecture in this region resembles those in the European continent around the 1700s. This can be seen from the distinctive details of the buildings and the ornaments that are identical to the European style. Such as the size of the doors and windows which are unusually large, the use of colored glass, the unique shape of the roof, to the existence of a basement. Kota Lama has become one of the attractions for residents of Semarang and overseas who come to this city. It is planned that the Old City of Semarang will be proposed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
