Ok, everyone must be know that New York has Liberty Statue and France has Eiffel Tower and I tell you that Jakarta has Monas as Indonesia landmark. I dare to say that if you're going to Jakarta without visiting our landmark Monas means that you don't really visit my city Jakarta :)
Monumen Nasional (Monas) literally translated into National Monument is a 450 ft tall tower in Central Jakarta, symbolizing the fight of Indonesia's Independence. It is topped by a 14.5 ton bronze flame, which is plated in 35 kg (1,125 troy ounces) of gold.
Well, just a little bit history about Monas here :
Monas was officially opened in July 12, 1975. The design and the Monas plan are made by the well known Indonesian architect at that time, Soedarsono, whereas the construction adviser is Prof. Dr. Ir. Roosseno. The construction started in 1961 and completed in 1975.
There are three important parts of Monas that can be seen clearly from a far distance. The yard of the wide cup (cawan), the pillar that soared, and in the peak of the pillar is the golden flame that depict fire is on never went out. Visitors can take an elevator up to upper platform beneath the golden flame with a view of Jakarta City. There also a museum under the cawan where visitors can get a lot of information about the history of Indonesia's Independence.
There is a big park around the Monas where citizens can doing recreation with family and getting knowledge about Indonesia's Independence history from the museum.
Well, thats all I know about Monas. Ciao..
