Yogyakarta Monument

The Jogja Monument is one of the main icons of Yogyakarta. This Jogja Monument is located right in the middle of the intersection between Jl. Mangkubumi, jl. Jendral Sudirman, Jl. A.M Sangaji, and Jl. Dipenogoro. With various histories behind it, Tugu Jogja has also become a historical icon for the city of Jogja. The monument, which was built in 1755 by Hamengkubuwono I, the founder of the Yogyakarta Palace, has symbolic value and is a magical line that connects the southern sea, the Jogja Palace and Mount Merapi. It is said that when he was meditating, the Sultan used this monument as a benchmark for facing Mount Merapi. #pindleindonesia #pindle #wonderfulindonesia #humaninterest
