The former Aceh hotel building that stands tall to the left of the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque in Aceh Province, Indonesia is surrounded by colorful construction piles and empty land.
When I first arrived and visited the site, my attention was drawn to the surroundings and the colorful beauty of the columns that until recently seemed lost in space.
Leave it alone.
The building of the former Aceh hotel, famous as Ir Soekarno's meeting place, is represented with pillars. During the second Dutch military aggression, Ir Soekarno and Abu Daud Beureueh discussed the Seulawah airplane. After being closed since 1997, Hotel Aceh burned down in April 2001, leaving only the pillars.
The first president of the Republic of Indonesia, known as IR. Soekarno at the time, asked for help from the people of Aceh to raise money to buy a Dakota airplane, the forerunner of Garuda Indonesia Airways. But unfortunately, the Aceh Hotel caught fire.
Then the land covered by the pile was not used to build Garuda Indonesia Airlines.
Before the 2004 tsunami tragedy, an Aceh hotel that had stood for centuries was now filled with colorful columns.
Unfortunately, the hotel caught fire.
As you can see above and below, all that remains are a few abandoned pillars.
These fields haven't changed at all from then to now; they have remained the same.
The color of the pillars is the only thing that changed in the fire tragedy as the pillars have been neglected and thrown into the mess.
To bring out the beauty of the pillars, they were painted in bright colors.
The savanna-like area is where I took the photo.
very unattractive.
as many locals were hesitant to visit this area when I was there because the land where these piles were located had never received any maintenance; as a result, all that was left was a pile of pillars.
only that way.
The landscape still looks the same.
Even though it is located in the heart of the capital city of Banda Aceh.
However, I can appreciate the aesthetic value of the photos I took there, especially the beautifully imagined and colorful photos of the poles.
Which seems to be famous for its shabby and dirty city, but now I can describe the other side of the narrative or the beauty of these abandoned and useless pillars.
Thank you very much.
