Monas (National Monument)

This 132-metre marble obelisk topped with a gold-plated flame symbolises Indonesian independence and offers panoramic city views. Ascend the 360-step staircase or take the elevator to the observation deck, where you can see landmarks like the Istiqlal Mosque. At night, the flame's 32.5-kg gold leaf shines brilliantly, making Monas nearly 50% taller than the surrounding buildings and outperforming #4 Istiqlal Mosque in visitor numbers by over 6,000 daily.
