Pasar Minggu

Pasar Minggu is an administrative district in South Jakarta containing seven neighborhoods such as Jati Padang, East Cilandak, and Ragunan, mixing residential areas with market centers and commercial streets. The district sits at an elevation of 34 meters and combines housing with busy shopping zones where merchants sell goods throughout the day.

The area began as a Dutch colonial fruit cultivation zone before becoming a market center over time. Early bamboo stalls gradually transformed into permanent buildings by 1930, establishing the commercial foundation that exists today.

The marketplace displays local trading patterns through its mix of permanent shops and temporary stalls arranged along busy streets. Visitors observe how merchants organize their goods and interact with customers in ways that reflect generations of commerce in this area.

The district connects to central Jakarta through multiple transportation options including a railway station, bus terminal, and the outer ring road system. Visitors navigate the area on foot, moving between wide streets and narrow passages alongside market stalls.

The Ciliwung River forms the eastern boundary while the Krukut River marks the western side, creating natural geographic borders for the district. These waterways have influenced settlement patterns and commerce throughout the region for decades.
