From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Old Banten (Indonesian: Banten Lama) is a historic city which was the capital of the Indonesian Sultanate of Banten. It is now part of the Serang Regency located about 11 km north of Serang city.
Today, Old Banten is a historical tourist attraction, where many people visit to pay their respects and prayers (ziarah) at the graves of Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin and his descendants. The area reflects the sultanate's earlier glory, which can be seen in the Great Mosque of Banten, the watch tower, the remains of the Kaibon Palace, the water systems and the artifacts at the Museum of Banten Artifacts.
