Jakarta has many old and historic buildings that became cultural
heritage,and protected by local goverment ( DKI Jakarta )
There are several historic building and
old buildings/old architecture in central Jakarta,
that I see and visit, not far from where I live,
And at this time has became cultural heritage.
In adolescence I've been interested in architecture and old buildings,
But for some reason,and I ended up choosing the Interior design.
This is probably what makes me feel compelled to write about the historic building and old buildings/old architecture.
