Highlights in Jakarta

• National Monument (Monas) - Without question, the National Monument or Monas (short for Monumen Nasional) is Jakarta's most recognizable structure. Standing at 132 meters (433 ft) in the centre of Merdeka Square, it was built from 1961-1975 to commemorate Indonesia's struggle for independence from the Dutch empire. The monument's cup and tower structure were designed to resemble a lingga and yoni – two Hindu symbols are often shown together to represent male and female energies. Together, they symbolize harmony, balance, fertility, and eternal life. Entrance to the park is free, but you'll need to pay IDR 15,000 (PHP55) to enter the monument itself. This will give you access to the National History Museum and both viewing platforms, including the one at the top which is 115 meters (377 ft) above ground level.
• Istiqlal Mosque - Istiqlal Mosque is the largest mosque in Southeast Asia. Like Monas, it was built to commemorate Indonesian independence from the Dutch, with the name Istiqlal meaning “independence” in Arabic. The mosque is located in the northeast of Merdeka Square so you can go here after visiting the National Monument. The grand domed prayer hall is impressive with its twelve massive stainless steel-covered columns. Muslims can peacefully worship here amidst the calm and serenity of the great hall’s atmosphere. Admission to the mosque is free.
• Jakarta Cathedral - In a show of religious tolerance and diversity, standing directly in front of the Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta Cathedral. The cathedral was built in 1901. It's a Roman Catholic cathedral that serves as the seat of the Archbishop of Jakarta. Indonesia is predominantly Muslim, but it does have a Catholic Christian community amounting to about 3% of the country's population.
