National Monument - The Monas

​The monument is one of the several conceived during the Sukarno era of Nationalism. It was a “lighthouse project” designed to remind our people of their forefathers’ determination, and all the efforts and lives they spent, in order for us to be able to proclaim our Independence in August 1945. The Monument is a tower shaped like a burning candle on a base, a reminder for us to keep the flames of our spirit alive. The base of the tower holds a museum that displays dioramas of important historical events that lead to our independence. In addition, you could go up with the lift to the peak of the Monument and see a panoramic view of Jakarta.
