Pandeglang, A regency where the cultural heritages preserved

Pandeglang, The "Kota Santri"

Pandeglang is one of the regency in Banten Province. The city where lots of cultural heritages still maintained well. However, Not many people know that some of cultural heritages are still exist. Because, sometimes people don't aware that these heritages are really important for a city if we relate to a history. People are not interested to come and see how these cultural heritages actually need to be learned.

I actually know before about the cultural heritages in the city which has motto as "Pandeglang Berkah". But, I just come without intending to write on my blog.  After one of my friend told me to write about it, so I came again and took some pictures.

Pandeglang, the city which is called as Kota Santri (Islamic Student City) has many cultural heritages, and luckily some of them are near my house. So, I just need to ride my motorbike to come, see and learned its history.

Pandeglang, Where the cultural heritages are still exist

As I said before, There are two cultural heritages that are near my house. They could be reached by car, motorcycle, or on foot. However, I must have been more carefully to ride my motorcycle because the street were so narrow. And, because they were around the village, so there would be some children who played around the street or  other motorcycles who passed me fast.

The two cultural heritages that I will tell is in Pasir Peteuy Village. A shady, green,  and beautiful village which is in a Mount Karang Pandeglang. If you go farther to Kadu Engang Village, you could see a landscape of Pandeglang Regency Clearly. F or your information, after I visited to these two sites, I went to Kadu Engang for drinking coffee, relaxing, and enjoying the Mount Karang view.


Menhir is a long stone that was exist in megalithic culture in Neolithic period. Its function was as a place for worshiping to ancestral spirit. It was applied in pre-historic time, but not for today. These kinds of  cultural heritages are still exist in Pasir Peteuy Village, Cadasari Sub-district,  Pandeglang Regency, Banten Province. They are:

1. Situs Cagar Budaya Menhir Pasir Peteuy

Cagar Budaya Menhir Pasir Peteuy (menhir Pasir Peteuy Sites) is actually the famous site in my regency, It was known as Pahoman site. But, unfortunately some people do not know where the exact location.

I reached this site through Cihaseum village near Pandeglang City square. I took around 30 minutes to see this historical and shady Pahoman Site by my motorcycle.




There was not a ticket, but we need to give some money for charity before entering this site. The parking ticket was just Rp. 2.000 for motorcycle and Rp.5.000 for car. By the way, if you have a good condition physically, you could jog or hike to this site.

In Pahoman Site, there is a cold and clear water springs as well. I took a wudhu for praying, I was actually allowed to take a bath by the site guide. But, I just did not prepare any clothes and towel. So, I just washed some part of my body to feel the fresh and cold water in it.


After taking wudhu, I sit around for a while, and I think that this place was so well-maintained and preserved. The air was so fresh and bird and other animal sounds made this place so hypnotized. It was an appropriate place to the people who want to relax his body and mind. By the way, from the parking area, I need to walked for about 50 meters to get to this site.


2. Situs Cagar Budaya Menhir Sanghyang Bunut

It was just arund 300 meters from Pahoman Site.So, Situs Cagar Budaya Menhir Sanghyang Bunut ( Cagar Budaya Menhir Sanghyang Bunut Site) was still in Pasir Peteuy Village. This site was smaller that Pahoman sites, but it still interesting.



The ticket was free. However, Parking area was not available around it. This place was just at side of the street. Sometimes, people, including me, who passed this place wasn't aware that there was a cultural heritages which need to be preserved.

The place was kept by an iron fence. The first time I saw this site, it was like a garden who planted some plants and flowers, because it was at around neighborhood. But, after I read a sign board that is written a cultural heritages, I was surprised. I stepped down the stairs and found the nice Menhir sanghyang Bunut.


Well, that was my trip in my city today. I was glad to find the places that were so cultural and historical. So, I can tell and share them on my blog to make people know about them.
