Kota Intan Bridge: A Testament to Colonial Engineering
The Kota Intan Bridge, built in 1628 during the Dutch colonial era, is a significant relic of Jakarta's history.
Originally named Hoenderpasarbrug due to its proximity to a chicken market, this 30-meter drawbridge was restored in 1938 to allow boat passage, preventing flooding in the area. Its vibrant architecture exemplifies early colonial engineering and serves as a scenic photo opportunity for visitors.
