Tegal is a city which is located on the coast of Java, it has grown exponentially in various sectors, including that of the domination of Dutch Colonial architecture. Tegal’s legacy is that it houses various public buildings that served as National Government offices for the Dutch during the colonial era. As a result of this, many public buildings in Tegal are shaped in the Dutch Colonial architectural style. During this era of colonialism, colonial architecture served as a symbol of an architectural identity for the city. The city of Tegal houses several public and government buildings with the colonial architectural style, such as the Birao Building, the Mako Lanal Building, the Tegal DPRD Building, and the Post Office Building. Culturally, Tegal’s architecture connects the city’s colonialist past with the local traditions. Furthermore, the existence of colonialist structures serves as proof of the city’s historical identity. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research method, as well as further examination of the characteristics of buildings in Tegal that fit the colonial archetype. According to the findings of this research, all four of the buildings explored in this study exhibit characteristics befitting of the Dutch Colonial architectural style.
