Central market of Salatiga "Pasar Besar". There had been few fires and rebuilding of this market. Today it stretches through Jalan Jendral Sudirman and is very busy. In fact each morning the stalls would extend to the main road - which they need to clear at 7am.


This one is a later picture (in the 60's) just before the big fire.

Clock tower at the heart of Salatiga. One of the few things which changed little over the years.

You can see the Residence in the background along with view of Mount Merbabu.

Lapangan Pancasila (Pancasila Square), was also known as "Kepatihan". The locals refer to this location as "Alun-alun".


There was a small monument there. This, later was rebuilt in 1976 and became the "Tugu Pancasila" (Pancasila Monument) to honour 3 heroes from Salatiga who died during the war.

They are:
