THE NATIONAL MONUMENT
The National Monument, know to the
locals as Monas, is an obelisk coated in 35
kilograms of gold topped by a glittering
flame. This huge monument symbolizes
Indonesia's strength and independence.
Today, a lot of people from all walks
of life love to visit Monas to enjoy the
gorgeous view. Often, they start their morning
walk at the Merdeka Square with their family.
North of Monas is located the eight-ton
bronze statue of Prince Diponegoro, the
famous Javanese warrior who fought the
Dutch in the guerrilla war “Between” 1825 to
1830. This is the statue of the prince on a
horse. The statue was crafted by Italian
sculptor Colbertado and presented to the
Indonesian government in 1965.
In the basement level of the monument
people will find dramatic dioramas presenting
Indonesia history. Taking an elevator to the
top of the observatory deck, they can be
charmed by the magnificent cityscape of
Jakarta. The deck is about 132 meters above
the ground level.
Around the area are wandering
delman, traditional transportation mode
consisting of horses and carriages which can
be hired to browse around the place. Kids,
especially, are excited when they have the
opportunity to ride on one of them.
