Kuto Besak Fortress





Kutobesak fortress is a palace building which in the XVIII century became the center of the Palembang Sultanate. The idea of ​​establishing kutobesak fortress was initiated by Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin I who ruled in 1724-1758 and the construction was completed by his successor, Sultan Mahmud Bahauddin who ruled in 1776-1803.

Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin is a Palembang Darussalam sultanate figure who is realistic and practical in international trade as well as a cleric who makes Palembang the center of religious literature in the archipelago. Marking his role as sultan he moved from KutoLamo Palace to KutoBesak. The Dutch called KutoBesak a nieuwe palace, aka a new palace.

The fort began to be built in 1780 with an unknown architect and the supervision of work was entrusted to a Chinese. Brick adhesive cement used limestone in the interior of the Ogan River coupled with egg whites. The time spent to build KutoBesak is approximately 17 years. It was officially occupied on Monday 21 February 1797.

Kutobesak fortress stands in a very open, strategic and at the same time very beautiful position. Its position is facing the Musi River. At present it is occupied by the Sriwjaya Military Regional Command (KODAM).

The construction and structuring of the area around the kutobesak fortress Plaza is projected to become an open-air entertainment place that sells the charm of Musi and historic buildings. When viewed from the SeberangUlu area or the Ampera Bridge, the view is a large courtyard against a background of palm trees in the courtyard ofkutobesak fortress, and the water tower in the Palembang Mayor's Office.

At night, the atmosphere will feel more dramatic. The light from the row of garden lights creates a yellow reflection on the surface of the river.

Palembang Grand Mosque Palembang Grand Mosque or Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin I Great Mosque is one of the religious tourism icons in South Sumatra. This mosque was built by Sultan Mahmud Badarudin I Jaya Wikrama around the 18th century, located in the 19 Ilirarea which is one of the original villages of Palembang and Arabia. There is something unique that I found in this historic mosque: First, the Palembang Great Mosque had been the largest mosque in Indonesia for several years. Second, the shape of the building which is a blend of three architectures.Indonesian, European and Chinese Architecture. Indonesian architecture covers almost all mosque buildings.
