Serang

Serang has served as the provincial capital of Banten, on northwestern Java, since the early 21st century. The city lies on the Cibanten River plain, inland from the Java Sea, while the Jakarta–Merak transport corridor underlines its modern administrative role. Within the city area, Banten Lama preserves the former capital of the Banten Sultanate, a power influential across western Java and the Sunda Strait during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The Great Mosque of Banten, recognised by its tiered roof, and the ruins of Surosowan Palace give this historic quarter lasting importance.
