I hope that with this method, all of you can more easily understand the information I convey regarding the discussion that I will bring now. And right away without wasting time, let's go straight to the point in this discussion. lesssgooo....👊👊👊
1. What is Benteng Kuto Besak Palembang?
Before we dive into the discussion of the beauty of the Benteng Kuto Besak in Palembang, it is better if we first understand the brief history of the Benteng Kuto Besak. The initial idea for the construction of Benteng Kuto Besak actually existed since the time of Sultan Mahmud Badarudin I. However, the construction could only be realized in 1780 during the reign of Sultan Mahmud Muhammad Bahaudin.
Before the establishment of Benteng Kuto Besak, the area was originally a palace area which became the center of the Palembang Sultanate, in the XVIII century.
Furthermore, after Benteng Kuto Besak was established, the fort (Benteng) had a function other than as a defense from invaders' attacks, on the other hand as a residence for the Sultan and his family.
Benteng Kuto Besak was officially used on February 21, 1792. Currently, Benteng Kuto Besak Palembang, or also known as BKB is occupied by the Sriwijaya Military Regional Command.
Benteng Kuto Besak is located not far from the Palembang Ampera Bridge, and faces the Musi River in Palembang.
The address for the Benteng Kuto Besak is on Sultan Mahmud Badarudin Street, 19 Ilir, Bukit Kecil District, Palembang City, South Sumatra Province.
The very strategic location of Kuto Besak Fort has made it one of the favorite tours for the people of Palembang in particular. Despite the fact that many also come from outside Palembang.
3. When is the greatest time to visit it?
In my opinion, the best time to visit Benteng Kuto Besak is at night. Because of what? Because at night there is a night market that is always in the field in the photo above. However, the question is whether in the morning or afternoon is not recommended?. The answer is no. At that time we can enjoy the view and relax in the seats that have been provided for us or maybe your family who wants to visit.
Besides at night, Kuto Besak Fort is not as busy as at night. Because there's not much we can do in the morning.
4. Why we have to visit Benteng Kuto Besak?
The many kinds of tours that exist in the Benteng Kuto Besak area, make it a tourist destination that presents a different sensation in terms of the time of visit.
And here are the tourist activities that can be done at Benteng Kuto Besak:
1. Forts (Benteng), and Historic Objects
The first attraction, of course, is the existence of a historic fort, a fort that was not built by the Dutch. Because most of the forts in Indonesia were built by the Dutch.
Inside the Benteng Kuto Besak area, there is a museum, as well as other historical objects, such as cannons, and other historical buildings.
2. View Ampera Bridge, And Musi River
It's a good idea to visit the Benteng Kuto Besak by spending time until the evening. When BKB's operating hours are closed, the fun of tourism does not stop, it is even more crowded.
The atmosphere outside the Kuto Besak Fort in the afternoon into the evening is getting busier. The scenery around the area is very beautiful, combined with the twinkling night lights that will spoil the eyes of visitors.
This area is the best spot to enjoy the charm of the beauty of the Ampera Bridge and the Musi River in Palembang. As well as a cool photo background.
3. Belido Iwak Monument
There is a visitor's favorite selfie spot called Tugu Iwak Belido. A monument, or a giant fish statue, in the form of a fish typical of the Musi River which is starting to become rare.
Belido fish is famous as a very delicious fish, as well as a raw material for making Palembang's special culinary, namely Pempek.
