The National Monument is in the centre of Merdeka square. It is situated between the old Jakarta and the new one. The monument was built in 1961 to remember Indonesia’s fight for independence from the Dutch. The monument is 137 meters high and it has 35 kilograms of gold leaf on its top. The gold leaf looks like a flame-the flame of freedom.
Visitors can ride in the elevator to just below the flame (115 meters high). From here you can see most of downtown Jakarta. You can look down on noisy Merdeka square ( one square kilometer ), one of largest square in the world. When tou come down from the top, you can visit the museum at the bottom of the monument. Here you can see dioramas showing indonesia’s history.
