Batu, Mountain resort city in East Java, Indonesia
Located between Mount Arjuno and Mount Welirang at 838 meters elevation, Batu City spans across 202 square kilometers of subtropical highland terrain.
The area gained recognition in the 10th century when King Sindok ordered Mpu Supo to establish a royal retreat, resulting in the construction of Songgoriti.
The name Batu derives from Mbah Wastu, a follower of Prince Diponegoro, who influenced the early development of this mountain settlement.
The city maintains temperatures between 18 and 32 degrees Celsius with high humidity levels, creating favorable conditions for apple cultivation and agriculture.
Three administrative districts divide the city: Batu covers 46,377 square kilometers, Bumiaji spans 130,189 square kilometers, and Junrejo extends across 26,234 square kilometers.
