The Fatahillah Museum has the official name of the Jakarta History Museum which is a museum
located at Jalan Taman Fatahillah No. 1, West Jakarta with an area of more than 1,300 square
meters.
This building was formerly the city hall of Batavia (Dutch: Stadhuis van Batavia) which was built
in 1707-1712 by order of the Governor-General Joan van Hoorn. This building resembles the
Dam Palace in Amsterdam, consisting of a main building with two wings on the east and west
and a sanding building that is used as an office, courtroom and underground rooms which are
used as prisons. On March 30, 1974, this building was inaugurated as Fatahillah Museum.
