Indonesia

Serang is the capital of the province of Banten, in the Western Java region of Indonesia. The city, with a population of about 600,000, is located about 75 km west of the city centre of Jakarta. However, the distance between Serang and the urban sprawl of Greater Jakarta around Tangerang is only about 30 km. Although the city of Serang is nowadays much larger, the town of Banten about 7 km to the north is historically of much more importance.
