Alun-Alun Merdeka
Malang's traditional city-center square, with a grand mosque on the west side and surrounded by department stores, an old church, and food stalls.
Alun-Alun Merdeka Malang is the Merdeka Square, a traditional 'alun-alun' square typical of Javanese cities, with pigeon flocks, children's play equipment, and fountains on the lawn; citizens gather here in the evenings. On the west side stands the Malang Grand Mosque, first built in 1890, and on the north side is the Protestant Immanuel Church, reflecting the coexistence of multiple religions. Around the square you can eat Bakso Malang (Malang meatball soup) and other snacks, and the Kayutangan heritage street and the big central market are nearby.
