There are 17 old buildings waiting to be renovated in Kota Tua area. Thus, Yayat’s team is working in order to finish the renovation of the buildings in time. Since Unesco will announce whether Kota Tua will receive World Heritage Site title or not in 2017.
“Soon, we will throw a reopening event for the renovated Jiwasraya building.” add Yayat.
