Bukit Seguntang

Bukit Seguntang or Bukit Siguntang (English: Seguntang Hill or Siguntang Hill) is a 29–30 metres high small hill located at the northern bank of Musi River and within the vicinity of Palembang, capital city of South Sumatra, Indonesia. It is located around 3 kilometres north from Musi River northern bank and around 4 kilometres southwest from Palembang city center. The place is considered sacred by the locals and home to many archeological relics believed to be related to Srivijaya, once a dominating political power around the Malacca Strait (6th to 13th century AD). Today the hill holds the title of an archaeological park.
