From Wikipedia:
R.A. Wiranatakusumah II, the chief administration of Bandung regency at that time, moved its office from Krapyak, in the south, to a place near a pair of holy city wells (sumur Bandung), now it is alun-alun (city square). He built his dalem (palace), masjid agung (the grand mosque) and pendopo (public-official meeting place) in the classical orientation. The pendopo faces Tangkuban Perahu mountain, who was elieved to have a mystical ambience.
This is Sumur Bandung (Bandung City Wells), supposedly protected by the ancient goddess “Nyi Kentring Manik”.
