It has been built in east area of the archipelago since 17th century by VOC (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie). The Martello fortress was been functioning to support the old battle between Netherlander and Portuguese in Indonesia. It was also functioning as tower guard to secure the entry line to Batavia / Jayakarta (Jakarta Now days) from this gate.
