Bandung (Sundanese: ᮊᮧᮒ ᮘᮔ᮪ᮓᮥᮀ, romanized: Kota Bandung كَوتا باندوڠ, Sundanese pronunciation: ; /ˈbɑːndʊŋ/) is the capital city of the Indonesian province of West Java. Greater Bandung (Bandung Basin Metropolitan Area/BBMA) is the country's second-largest and most populous metropolitan area, with over 11 million inhabitants. Located 768 meters (2,520 feet) above sea level, the highest point in the North area with an altitude of 1,050 meters (3,445 feet) and the lowest in the South is 675 meters (2,215 feet) above sea level, approximately 140 kilometres (87 miles) southeast of Jakarta, Bandung has cooler year-round temperatures than most other Indonesian cities. The city lies on a river basin surrounded by volcanic mountains that provides a natural defence system, which was the primary reason for the Dutch East Indies government's plan to move the capital from Batavia (modern-day Jakarta) to Bandung.
