The Taman Purbakala Kerajaan Sriwijaya is a low-key archaeological park on the western edge of Palembang, opened in 1994 around an excavated network of Srivijaya-era canals and brick foundations. The Srivijaya capital is thought to have sat in this general area, though the precise centre has never been pinned down — most of it lies under the modern city.
The on-site museum is small but unusually well presented for an Indonesian regional museum, with several important inscriptions, gold ornaments, and Buddhist statuary. The park itself is shaded, often empty, and a pleasant walk for an hour. A taxi from central Palembang takes about twenty minutes; combine it with Bukit Seguntang on the same trip.
