Wikipedia define this place as:
Jakarta Old Town (Kota Tua Jakarta), also known as Old Jakarta, and Old Batavia (Oud Batavia), is a small area in Jakarta, Indonesia. This special region spans over 130 ha of both North Jakarta and West Jakarta.
Dubbed "the jewel of Asia" back in the 16th century by European sailors, Old Jakarta — or Batavia, as it was named then — was once considered a center of commerce for the whole continent due to its strategic location, fertile resources, and rich culture.
So Old Jakarta is it. Present days, this name is used by many countries for themselves!
