Jakarta City Hall

Jakarta City Hall, Central administration building in Merdeka Square, Indonesia

Jakarta City Hall is an administrative complex with multiple structures featuring different architectural styles located at Merdeka Square. Building G rises 24 stories and stands as a notable vertical element in the city's skyline.

The first city hall of Batavia was built on 4 March 1621 and later became the Jakarta History Museum. The council moved to Tanah Abang West in 1913 and to Koningsplein Zuid in 1919, where building no. 8 housed the Resident of West Java and no. 9 the Gemeentehuis Batavia. In 1972 the colonial building on plot 9 was demolished for the 24-story Building G.

The colonial building at number 8 was opened to the public on 12 September 2015 under Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, through a programme called Wisata Balai Kota. Visitors can watch Indonesian films screened every weekend in the Balai Agung hall.

The colonial building at number 8 has been open to the public since 12 September 2015 through the Wisata Balai Kota tour. Indonesian films are screened at the Balai Agung every weekend. The complex lies south of Merdeka Square, and administrative offices in the other blocks stay closed to visitors.

Building G, finished in 1972, established construction standards that guided future skyscraper projects in Jakarta. This early tower helped shape how the city grew vertically as it developed.
