Tanah Abang

Tanah Abang (English: The Red Land) is a district of Central Jakarta, Indonesia. The district hosts the biggest textile market in Southeast Asia, Tanah Abang Market. Tanah Abang District is also the location of Bung Karno Stadium (in Kelurahan Gelora) and the western half of the Sudirman Central Business District.
Tanah Abang is also the name of two historic roads located in Kelurahan South Petojo, Gambir District. One of these roads, Tanah Abang 1, is known as the location of a former Dutch Cemetery, now a museum called "Museum Taman Prasasti". The cemetery is the burial place of Olivia Mariamne Devenish, Eurasian wife of Stamford Raffles.
The Textile Museum, generally known to be located in Tanah Abang District, is actually located in West Jakarta (Kelurahan Kota Bambu Selatan, Palmerah District). The museum is identified with Tanah Abang District because it is located close to the boundary of the two districts.
