Water Castle, Jakarta, Java. Part of this castle is at present no more than an intriguing collection of ruins, pools, arches and underground passages enclosed by massive walls, but it remains an intrigue with tales of its creation. We were told that originally tunnels were built as an escape route for the sultan. Now there is no sultan, but plenty of local boys making use of the cool water during hot days.
