History and Architecture: Jakarta was a part of the Sundanese kingdom of Tarumanagara, one of the oldest Hindu kingdoms in Indonesia.  After its decline, it became part of the Kingdom of Sunda. The Dutch ships arrived in Jayakarta in 1596 and they were followed by the English East India Company where they were allowed to build a trading post. This site became the centre of English trade in Indonesia until 1682. Dutch colonial architecture is seen in many old buildings, villas, structures and churches. Some Chinese style and Islamic style buildings are also present in the city. The Dutch style later gave way to the Indische Stijl, which was more in line with the local climate and culture.
