Blitar, Administrative city in East Java, Indonesia.

Located 167 kilometers from Surabaya, Blitar spans across 32.57 square kilometers at an elevation of 167 meters above sea level.

The Dutch colonial administration established Blitar as a formal city on April 1, 1906, following its earlier status under Majapahit Kingdom control.

The Sukarno Mausoleum complex incorporates East Javanese architectural elements and receives 1.5 million visitors annually to honor Indonesia's first president.

The city divides into three administrative districts - Sukorejo, Kepanjenkidul, and Sananwetan - with education institutions and commercial centers throughout these areas.

Local markets offer regional products including jumbo-sized sweet star fruits from Karangsari Village and traditional dishes such as Nasi Ampok and Peyek Uceng.
