here we go pics of Cirebon or short of it, I could find from internet

Cirebon

Cirebon,( Cirebon means 'River of Shrimps' and the city has a nickname 'Kota Udang', 'City of the big Shrimps' ),the first big harbour east of Jakarta, is a modest trade city with about 225,000 inhabitants. It's the only of the 16th century Jawanese city kingdoms, complete with palaces and royal families, which has survived the times. With this fact, Cirebon is the oldest royal city of the island; about three centuries older than both Yogyakarta and Solo( i even didnt know that ).

LOL! Cilegon is city in Banten bro, and actually Banten is used to be part of kingdom of Cirebon, even the first king of banten is King of Cirebon's little brother,

about language we had our own language, Bahasa Cerbon,only mixed between Sundanese and javanese though

Beautiful thread with wonderful pics.

Ik especially love the traditional architecture. Its weird to see that strict calvinistic Dutch architecture next to that beautifully carved and decorated traditional buildings.

Hi WC,

Thanks berat atas pinjam picsku tanpa izin, budaya malas Indo kan

1If I should have taken a pic of BI in front of the building there would be growing an immense building crane out f the building (look closer at the pic)

2If you had a better look at my site you would have seen that it is all abt. sejarah - history, not modern times

CIREBON ALWAYS UNIQUE BY NATURE AND ETNIC BY PEOPLE

Cirebon Town Square berlokasi di Jl.Cipto Mangunkusumo di pusat kota Cirebon dengan luas area 6.2 Ha. Merupakan sebuah komplek pusat perbelanjaan dan pusat rekreasi keluarga terbesar yang didukung oleh berbagai fasilitas seperti Apartemen, Hotel, Komplek Ruko, dan Waterworld.

Cirebon Town Square dikonsep dengan lay-out yang kompak dimana di pusat perbelanjaan terdapat komposisi took-toko dan anchor tenant yang saling mendukung. Dilengkapi dengan paserba (hypermarket), department store ternama, restoran-restoran terkenal, pusat mainan anak, cinema, bowling dan bilyard center.

Dengan bentuk bangunan yang didesign dengan gaya arsitektur modern, Cirebon Town Square akan segera menjadi “Landmark” baru kota Cirebon.
