## Jakarta: Old port area

The old harbour of Sunda Kelapa is located in the centre of the coastline where fingers of land extend into the sea. It is still visited by a large fleet of sailing ships. The large elliptical dark area immediately to the south is the Pluit Reservoir. A maritime museum and Jakarta's famous fish market are next door. Further to the east is the pleasure area of Ancol with its golf course being the red patch at the eastern margin of the image.

South of Sunda Kelapa, the Dutch built their old city (popularly known as kota), the centre of which was a square now called Taman Fatahilah. The densely built up area of the old city contrasts with the more open areas near the western coast. Large sediment plumes are being discharged into the Jakarta Bay.
