Sawah Besar, Central district in Jakarta, Indonesia
Sawah Besar spans across several neighborhoods including Gunung Sahari Utara, Karang Anyar, Kartini, Pasar Baru, and Mangga Dua Selatan at 7 meters elevation.
The district name originates from a 450-square-meter paddy field that existed before 1860, later transforming into an urban settlement by the late 19th century.
The district contains the Vihara Buddhayana temple from the 18th century and encompasses part of the former Chinese cemetery, reflecting Jakarta's multicultural heritage.
The area features wholesale markets in Mangga Dua Selatan where visitors find electronics and fashion items, while Pasar Baru offers textiles and local goods.
The district includes sections of Weltevreden, the former colonial administrative center that replaced Oud Batavia, featuring the Hotel Borobudur and Istiqlal Mosque.
