Monas, short for the National Monument, is an iconic landmark of Indonesia located in the heart of Jakarta. The monument stands tall at 132 meters and has an obelisk shape with a gold-tipped flame at the top, symbolizing the spirit of the nation’s struggle. Built as a symbol of Indonesia’s independence, Monas is surrounded by a large park with shady trees, walking paths, and recreation areas frequented by locals and tourists alike.
At the base of Monas, there is a historical museum that houses dioramas and artifacts narrating Indonesia’s journey to independence, from colonial times to freedom. An elevator inside the monument takes visitors to the observation deck, where they can enjoy panoramic views of Jakarta from above. Monas is not only a national symbol but also a place rich in history and pride for the Indonesian people.
