The Presidential Palace, Jakarta, also known as the
Merdeka Palace, is a state-owned palace complex, currently used as
the official residence of the President of the Peoples Republic of
Indonesia. The palace was originally constructed around 1876, and
later sold to the Dutch colonialists to serve as the residence for
the Governor General. Further modifications were made through the
years, making it one of the most eye-catching architectural
landmarks of historical significance in Jakarta. After Indonesia
finally gained its independence in 1949, the palace was renamed
Istana Merdeka, meaning 'The Palace of Freedom'.
Today, the Presidential Palace is a regal sight to behold
and houses important state event such as the annual Independence
Day ceremony, always celebrated in grand style, and various
meetings of national importance. The interior of the palace holds
the Residential Chamber, the Banquet Room, the Regalia and the
First Chamber, and more.
