Rumah si Pitung

The tall wooden house stands on 40 supporting pillars, featuring traditional Betawi coastal architectural elements with distinct Bugis influences in its design and structure.

Built in the early 20th century, this house belonged to Haji Saipudin, a wealthy fish merchant from Makassar who provided shelter to Si Pitung during the 1890s.

The museum displays artifacts, photographs, and exhibits that tell the story of Si Pitung, a local folk hero who defended poor communities against colonial powers.

The museum opens daily from morning to afternoon, offering guided tours that explain the building's architecture and the historical context of Si Pitung's era.

The building underwent a 4-meter elevation renovation in 2010 to protect it from rising tides, while maintaining its original architectural characteristics.
