Pasar Klojen

My new friends requested to come here

They wanted to see the activities

So, I brought them to Pasar Klojen

Pasar : traditional market

The name Klojen came from ke-loji-an

Loji is a name for the Dutch fortress,

while originally...the word loji is logie (French) means accommodation

The conclusion is the military accommodation that was inside the fortress 

and built in the year 1767 at the left bank of the Brantas River. 

The Klojen market is located at the intersection 

between Klojen Lor (now Patimura Street) 

and Sophia Street (now Cokroaminoto Street)
