Cikini hospital was built in the 19th century and it was the residence of the well known painter Raden Saleh. The style of the building is a mixing between the Moor (Arab) and Gothic (European). The Moor architecture of the building is notable at the balustrade of the front part of the upper gallery, the perfect shape of the arch of main door and the other decorative arcades. The Gothic style, the element is strongly notable at the windows, shaping a sharp arch. Other elements like Portico (gallery supported by pillars and wall arcades) tend to be classical.
