Highlanders Cafe Sentul


After being at home for a long time, I finally took a break to the Sentul area. The journey to get there from Sentul is a bit difficult, the road is only 2 narrow lanes, uphill, and winding, so sometimes if you meet a car from above you have to queue up to go up, this causes traffic jams at some points. There's also only a small amount of parking available at the restaurant, so we park in an empty field near the restaurant area. When it arrived, it was quite busy, so you had to wait on the list first. We request a gazebo with a sofa so the minimum order is 400K. Because it's a bit crowded and I think the order is a bit messy, so our food has only arrived 1 hour after payment, luckily their view is good so we're still enjoying the view. If you want to get a better view, I suggest coming in the afternoon or evening, even though it's a bit hot but the sky is clearer.
1. Ricebowl Dori Sambal Matah
I ordered their rice bowl menu, the rice portion is quite large in my opinion, only a few slices of the dory. The taste of the sambal matah is also not strong in my opinion, the dory meat is soft and not fishy, ​​the outside is crispy. It just feels normal, nothing special.
2. Cireng salad
This order is for snacks, one portion gets 7 small size cireng and chili salad. The cireng is crunchy and chewy, so eaten with the rujak seasoning makes it even more delicious.

Taman Sari Gua Sunyaragi, Cirebon

Hello everyone, I will review one of the tourist attractions in the city of Cirebon, namely Taman Sari Gua Sunyaragi. In the 17th century, there was a building that could be considered the mecca of modern architecture in its day. The name of the building is Sunyaragi Cave, it is located in the city of Cirebon, West Java province. This cave complex presents architectural art with a high taste in the Middle Ages because it successfully combines several architectural styles, namely Classical Indonesia, Middle East, Ancient China, and European Renaissance. The harmonious combination of architectural styles is wrapped with local cultural understanding and philosophy.

So that it is not only the beautiful side that can be enjoyed from the heritage building of the Cirebon Kingdom but also lessons about life. By having a unique and interesting shape, this cave complex which occupies an area of ​​15 hectares is also shrouded in a mystical atmosphere. Because in the past this complex was indeed used as a place to meditate and do Kanuragan by the Sultans and soldiers of the Cirebon Kingdom. Sunyaragi Cave is also full of historical values ​​because it was once used as a place to organize war strategies against the Dutch colonialists. If you have the opportunity to visit Cirebon City, take your time to enjoy the beauty and uniqueness of the Sunyaragi Cave.


History of Taman Sari Cave Sunyaragi
From the history and origin of the establishment of this unique artificial cave, as the description written on Wikipedia, has two versions. The first is sourced from a hereditary story conveyed by the Cirebon nobles called the Carub Kanda version. Carub Kandha said that Sunyaragi Cave is Taman Sari which was built to replace the Giri Nur Sapta Rengga Pesanggrahan whose function was changed to become the burial area of ​​the kings of Cirebon and is now called Astana Gunung Jati.

The second version is called the Caruban Nagari version because it is taken from the Purwaka Caruban Nagari Book which was handwritten by Prince Arya Carbon or Prince Kararangen in 1720. The book explains that the Sunyaragi Cave was built in 1703 AD, during the reign of Prince Kararangen who was the great-grandson of Sunan Gunung Jati. Because this second version refers to books from the past which are more reliable, the tour guides also prefer the second version to be used as a reference. Until now, it is not known for certain what the original form of the Sunyaragi Cave will be, because there is no blueprint or blueprint image that can be used as a guide when carrying out renovations, while renovations have been carried out repeatedly.

The first repair was carried out by Sultan Adiwijaya in 1852, after 1787 Tamansari was destroyed by the Dutch because it was used as a fortress. The renovation for the first time was led by a Chinese architect named Tan Sam Cay, who was eventually killed for leaking the secrets of the cave to the Dutch. The next restoration activity that carried out was the Dutch colonial government in 1937-1938, where the entire implementation was handed over to Krisjman, an official of the Semarang Culture Service at that time. In the restoration, Krisjman changed some of the original forms of the cave with the aim of not endangering the building as a whole. The changes made have indeed strengthened the condition of the building, but on the other hand have made the condition of the building further away from the condition when it was first built.

During 1976-1984, the Directorate of Protection and Development of History and Antiquities also carried out restoration work which was followed up with a series of observation and maintenance activities on the Sunyaragi complex. In 1997 the management of this cave by the government was handed over to the Kasepuhan Palace Stakeholder. Due to the lack of maintenance costs, Sunyaragi was neglected for several years before finally being revitalized by the West Java Provincial Government in 2014 which spent a budget of Rp.2.46 billion. This revitalization activity, apart from renovating certain parts of the Sunyaragi Cave complex, also added several facilities. Some of the additional facilities such as the construction of a large parking area and giving a new touch to the front of the tourist attraction in the form of the construction of a Cultural Stage for Cirebon Arts performances.


Adress
Sunyaragi Cave which is located at JL. Brigadier General AR Dharsono, Sunyaragi Village, Kesambi District, Cirebon, West Java occupies an area of ​​15 hectares with a location in the city center.

How To Get There
The route to get to the location is very easy, just take a becak for approximately 20 minutes if you get off at Prujakan and Kejaksan Stations or about 10 minutes if you get off at Cirebon Bus Terminal. To be able to enjoy the uniqueness of this historical site, tourists can visit the location from 08.00 – 17.30 by paying an entrance ticket of Rp. 10,000. The HTM does not include parking fees for motorbikes of Rp. 2,000 and cars around Rp. 5,000.

If you want to use the services of a tour guide to find out about the story, genealogy of the king of Cirebon, and various information such as legends, myths, and mysteries about the cave, visitors have to spend another Rp. 40,000 to Rp. 50,000. Seeing the history of the existence of Sunyaragi Cave, the function of this cave complex from time to time is always changing, according to the will of the rulers of that era.

The purpose of establishing this cave complex is to be used as a Tamansari as well as a place for palace officials and soldiers to meditate and perform by Kanuragan. The name of the cave complex is "Sunyaragi" which comes from two words: "Sunya" and "Ragi" which means "Desolate" and "Raga". The meaning of the word and the meaning of "Sunyaragi" is a place for rest and meditation. That's why until now the atmosphere in the cave complex still seems sacred and mystical.

By visiting Sunyaragi Cave, besides being able to enjoy its beauty and uniqueness, you can also feel the mystical atmosphere that emanates from the 12 parts of the cave complex. The twelve sections are: Ward Jinem, MandePack Complex, and ten caves, namely Guard Cave, Pandekamasang, Simanyang, Tangse, Peteng, Arga Jumud, Padang Ati, Kelanggengan, Lawa Cave and Pawon Cave.

Enjoying the Uniqueness of the Cave
By entering the Sunyaragi Cave complex, anyone will be immediately stunned by the extraordinary architectural design and very character, far beyond its era. Today's creations are not necessarily able to match the features of this building. It is not wrong if many say that entering this tourist complex is like entering a fairy tale land because almost all parts of the cave are built from piles of rocks. That's why, once you enter the Sunyaragi Cave complex, prepare a camera to record every corner of the location, both in the form of photos and video images.

The beauty and uniqueness of the buildings in this tourist spot, because it combines various architectural styles, ranging from Hindu or Classical Indonesian styles to Islamic or Middle Eastern, Ancient Chinese, and European styles. Classical Hindu or Indonesian architectural styles can be found in 3 joglo buildings, namely the Pesanggrahan Building, Mande Beling, and Bale Kambang.
While the form of the gate and several statues at the location are elephants and snake statues wrapped around a human statue with the head of an eagle. All the ornaments of the buildings here, even though they are cultural syncretism from all over the world, are all influenced by the Classical Indonesian architectural style. Various flower-shaped carvings, such as lotus flowers, sunflowers, and peach blossoms show the influence of the Ancient Chinese style.

The exterior of this cave complex used to be decorated with Chinese ceramic ornaments that have long been lost, so it is not known with certainty what the pattern was. The influence of China can also be seen in the existence of Chinese graves which are not a place to bury someone. However, it is a monument that was used as a place of prayer by the guards and escorts of the Chinese Princess who was married to Sunan Gunung Jati, namely Ong Tien Nio who later changed her name to Ratu rara Sumanding. The influence of Islamic or Middle Eastern architectural styles is because the rulers of the Cirebon Palace are followers of Islam and religious leaders. The influence of Islam can be seen from the shape of the niches on the walls of the building, the existence of pawudlon or ablution places, and symbols or Qibla signs on the chapter or prayer room. In addition, the back side of the Jinem Ward looks like a Kaaba building.

The influence of European or Dutch architectural styles is not only since this building complex was founded during the Dutch colonial period, but also because it was restored by the Dutch colonial government in 1937-1938. This European style can be found in the form of the Pesanggrahan Building, the window shape of the Kaputren Building, and the rotating staircase in the Arga Jumud Cave. Apart from the overall description of the existence of the Sunyaragi Cave, several unique and special spots need special attention while at the location. One of them is Balai Kambang which was used as a place for gamelan players to welcome guests.

The building is in the form of a pavilion, formerly floating on the surface of the water and located above a pool that is about half the size of an Olympic swimming pool. To go to Balai Kambang itself, first, you have to use a rowed canoe. But now, the pool around Balai Kambang is dry, so Balai Kambang must be supported by concrete, and to get to that place, 2 bridges are built which are also made of concrete.

The use of the floating building concept at Balai Kambang which makes a building float on the surface of the water is an extraordinary architectural technology because it was made in the 17th century. Therefore, Japanese architects who carry the concept of the Green Float Project to create floating buildings in the future, seem they need to learn a lot from the architecture of the Sunyaragi Cave. Tourists who want to see a place where the Sultans are imprisoned can go to Peteng Cave. Besides being narrow, the top of this cave is rather low, forcing those who enter it to have to walk with a bow.

The philosophy of this bowed walk is respect for ancestors. He said, the Sultans of Cirebon in the past, while imprisoned, could release their souls and travel to other places, while their bodies were still left in Goa. Right in front of Peteng Cave, there is a pond and a long stone statue named "The Sunti Virgin". It is said that every woman who touches the statue is said to be kept away from her mate.

Regardless of whether the myth is true or not, the statue of the "Sunti Virgin" at the location is just a replica, because the original statue is currently stored in one of the museums in the Netherlands. Another interesting building is the Jinem Ward whose back shape resembles the Kaaba. The most magnificent building in the Sunyaragi complex used to serve as the resting place of the Sultan. In this place, the Sultan used to supervise his soldiers while they were training for war.

Keraton Kasepuhan Cirebon

 


Keraton Kasepuhan Cirebon was founded by Prince Cakrabuana during the development of Islam or around 1529. At the beginning of its construction, Keraton Kasepuhan was an extension of the Keraton Pakungwati which is the oldest palace in Cirebon. Pakungwati Palace, which is located to the east of the Kasepuhan Palace, was built by Prince Cakrabuana (Putera Raja Pajajaran) in 1452, along with the construction of Tajug Pejlagrahan which is on the east side.

The name "Pakungwati" comes from the name of Queen Dewi Pakungwati, the daughter of Prince Cakrabuana, who is married to Sunan Gunung Jati. He died in 1549 in the Sang Cipta Rasa Grand Mosque at a very old age. His name was enshrined and glorified by the lineage of Sunan Gunung Jati as the name of the palace, namely the Pakungwati Palace, which is now called the Kasepuhan Palace. Keraton Kasepuhan is an Islamic kingdom where the founders of Cirebon reigned, this is where the administrative center of the Cirebon Sultanate stood.

As a result of the outbreak of internal conflict, the Cirebon Sultanate was split into the Kanoman Sultanate and the Kasepuhan Sultanate in 1969. The Kanoman Sultanate was led by Prince Kartawijaya and had the title Sultan Anom I, while the Kasepuhan Sultanate was led by Prince Martawijaya who had the title Sultan Sepuh I. The two sultans were brothers, and each -each occupying his own palace.

Kraton Kanoman, Cirebon

The palace is the residence of the king which has several buildings in it. The main function of the palace is as a residence for the sultan and a place to carry out his duties as a leader of political and socio-cultural activities. There are three palaces in Cirebon City which are still intact, namely the Kasepuhan Palace, Kanoman Palace, and Kacirebonan Palace. From a series of genealogies, the three palaces are still descended from Sunan Gunung Jati. The Kanoman Palace is located in the Lemahwungkuk Village area, Lemahwungkuk District, Cirebon City, West Java. To get there, visitors can take about 25 minutes by rickshaw or about 10 minutes by four-wheeled vehicle from Harjamukti Terminal to the northeast and about 10 minutes by four-wheel drive from Kejaksan Train Station. READ ALSO 9 Typical Cirebon Foods You Must Try The History of Kanoman Palace In the early 15th century, before becoming Kanoman Palace, this area was only a small settlement called Tegal Alang-alang. Then Prince Wadirectsang, also known as Prince Cakrabuana, succeeded in developing and controlling the area and getting recognition from his father, Prabu Siliwangi, to be the leader.

In 1479, Prince Wadirectsang crowned Syarif Hidayatullah, the son of his younger sister, Nhay Rarasantang, as tumenggung, the title for regional heads. The coronation spread to the Demak Sultanate so that Syarif Hidayatullah was given the title by the guardians in Demak as Panetep Panatagama in Sunda Land with the name Sunan Gunung Jati. While leading Cirebon, Sunan Gunung Jati increased the development of the Cirebon Sultanate by carrying out government programs. He got the idea to build a mosque and then sent an envoy to ask the Sultan of Demak and his guardians for a response to the idea. Sunan Gunung Jati's wish received a positive response from Raden Fatah and his guardians. They sent the best architect from Majapahit named Raden Sepat who was assisted by Sunan Bonang and Sunan Kalijaga. After the construction was completed, the mosque was named the Great Mosque of Sang Cipta Rasa. Sunan Gunung Jati died in 1568, his position was replaced by his son, Panembahan Ratu. In his reign, Panembahan Ratu was a peace-loving person, he established good relations with royal leaders whose mission was to spread Islam, including establishing friendships with the Mataram Kingdom under the rule of Sultan Agung. Panembahan Ratu later died and was replaced by Prince Karim or also known as Panembahan Ratu II. 

He married the younger brother of Sunan Amangkurat I, the leader of the Mataram Kingdom. Sunan Amangkurat I was friendly with the Dutch so that he was pitted against by false news that Banten would attack Mataram. Sunan Amangkurat I incited Panembahan Ratu II to attack Banten, but he refused. As a result, he and his two sons, Prince Martawidjaja and Prince Kartawidjaja were summoned to Mataram (now Yogyakarta) and the three of them were exiled to Kartasura (now Surakarta). For 12 years, Panembahan Ratu II was exiled until he died in 1666 and was buried in Bukit Girilaya so that the Cirebon Sultanate became a power vacuum. Prince Wangsakerta at that time was the only successor because his two brothers were exiled. However, even though they were exiled, both of them had the right to lead, resulting in conflict. Seeing this, the Sultan of Banten named Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa went to Mataram and managed to bring Prince Martawidjaja and Prince Kartawidjaja back to the Cirebon Sultanate. Then Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa divided the Cirebon Sultanate into three, namely the Kanoman Sultanate led by Prince Kartawijaya, the Kasepuhan Sultanate led by Prince Martawijaya, and Panembahan Cirebon led by Prince Wangsakerta.

Characteristics of the Kanoman Palace The Kanoman Palace was founded by Prince Mohamad Badridin or Prince Kertawijaya, who received the title Sultan Anom I around 1678. The palace was built on an area of ​​approximately 175,500 square meters. The year of the establishment of the Kanoman Palace is written in a picture on the Jinem Door of the Kanoman Palace, which depicts "sun" meaning 1, "wayang darma kusuma" which means 5, "earth" means 1, and "Bintang Kamangmang" which means 0 so that it shows the number. the year 1510 Saka or 1588 AD. At that time the Kanoman Palace was still part of the Cirebon Sultanate before becoming its own palace in 1678. Kanoman Palace was built facing north and stretching to the south. To the north of the palace there is a square and market. To the northwest there is the Kanoman Palace Mosque, and to the south and east it is bordered by the Taman Siswa School and residential areas. The square served as a place for great warrior ceremonies and other activities. Today, the square is used as a public arena. The name alun-alun is taken from the word alun which means waves. In the middle of the square there is a banyan tree surrounded by a fence (waringin kinurung). Waringin means banyan tree and kinurung means caged. The banyan tree that grows large has many stems and thick leaves so that it can be used to shelter from the drizzle and the hot sun. The banyan tree has a shape like an umbrella which is a symbol of protection and shade. In this case, it shows that the palace which is led by a sultan has a function as a protector and protector for the people. In the palace complex, there is a hut called the Witana ward which is almost five football fields wide. Kanoman Palace also displays goods, such as two trains named Paksi Naga Liman and Jempana which are still well-preserved in the museum.
