I'd like to describe a traditional building from my hometown called Bayleo. Bayleo is a heritage building that reflects the cultural traditions of our local province. Many villages in our region have similar buildings, but I particularly love one that's still preserved on a small island in Maluku. The reason I love this building is because it still maintains its original, traditional design and space, making it authentic compared to other Bayleo buildings in Maluku. It's located in the center of the island, which is part of a larger city, and sits near a mosque. The building is constructed using natural materials. Half of it is made from wood, the floor is made from stone, and the roof is made from thatch. I believe this building was constructed during the colonial era, considering that concrete was introduced by the Dutch. It's likely that the building was built before the widespread use of concrete.
