Purwokerto

Purwokerto encompasses four districts intersected by the Kali Kranji River, with Mount Slamet rising in the background at an elevation of 84 meters.

The city gained administrative importance in 1861 when flooding prompted authorities to transfer the capital of Banyumas Regency from its previous location.

The central public square features six traditional banyan trees and brings residents together through food vendors, community gatherings, and local celebrations.

Transportation connections include railway services to Jakarta and Yogyakarta, while Tunggul Wulung Airport in Cilacap operates 40 kilometers from the city center.

The Bank BRI Museum, established in 1895, displays Indonesian currency collections and banking artifacts in the original branch building of Indonesia's oldest bank.
