Cirebon, Trading port city in West Java, Indonesia
Located on the northern coast of Java, Cirebon extends across five districts with elevation of 8 meters above sea level near the border of Central Java.
Founded in 1388, Cirebon transformed from a small fishing village named Muara Jati into a major commercial center and sultanate that controlled maritime trade routes.
The inhabitants speak Jawareh dialect, mixing Javanese and Sundanese languages, reflecting the multicultural identity of this former Islamic trading settlement.
The city connects to other regions through Kertajati International Airport and the Jalur Pantura road, with regular train services to Jakarta and Surabaya.
Local artisans in the Trusmi district produce batik textiles combining coastal patterns with Chinese motifs, following techniques passed through generations.
