Juridically my house is locaed in the Province of Banten but I am ashamed to admit that I don´t know anything about the history of Banten, the past kingdom and nor its heritage. It´s never too late to learn I suppose.

The last Banten kingdom heritage that still survives today is the pottery making in Ciruas village. I will write more about if when I have time in the future. For the time being, here´s how you can get to this very unique village: Jakarta Merak highway ---> Exit Ciujung ---> Go to Ciujung market ---> Turn right in the market intersection ---> Keep going (for +/- 4 km) until you find the Desa Bumijaya sign on the left side of the road
