Senen (meaning ''Monday'' in Indonesian) is one of the historic subdistricts of Central Jakarta, Indonesia. Its proximity to some of the historic areas of Jakarta such as Merdeka Square (formerly the Koningsplein) and Lapangan Banteng (formerly Waterloo Square) means that this area is also one of the historic areas of Jakarta. Some of the important landmarks of the Senen subdistrict are the Museum of Indonesian National Awakening (formerly the STOVIA medical school) and the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Indonesia. Senen subdistrict is roughly bounded by a railway line to the east and Ciliwung River to the west. The area is mainly served by Senen railway station and Senen bus terminal which is served by both Transjakarta and Kopaja bus services. Some of the important roads of the area are Kramat Raya Road (the main road that formerly linked Jakarta with Jatinegara) and Senen Raya Road (the focal point of the Senen market). == History == The historic part of Senen is mainly concentrated on the Senen administrative village. Senen was developed in 1733 by Dutch entrepreneur Justinus Vinck after the Dutch government built the new town, ''Weltevreden'', in south of Batavia. Besides Senen market in the east, Vinck also built Tanah Abang market in the west. The two markets are linked by Kwitang street and Kebon Sirih street. On 19 November 1919, the government built the CBZ (''Centrale Burgelijke Ziekenhuis'') in Salemba, southern area of Senen Subdistrict which was renamed Cipto Mangunkusumo Central Hospital following the nation's independence.〔http://rscm.co.id/pages.php?id=1#sejarah〕 During the 1960s and 1970s, many artists and poets began their career in the ''Planet Senen'' youth center, among them being Benyamin Sueb, Bing Slamet, and Misbach Yusa Biran. On 15 January 1974, students demonstrated against the government’s policy regarding the role of foreign investment in Indonesia. Beginning in front of Senen market, the demonstration led to a series of riots known as the Malari incident. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Senen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
