More information on Soekarno-Hatta Monument

This impressive bronze monument occupies the spot at the site of President Soekarno's original home where he declared Indonesia's independence on 17 August 1945. The following day Soekarno became Indonesia's first President and Hatta the vice-president. Surrounded by a pleasant park, the larger-than-life-sized monument depicts these founding fathers reading the Proklamasi (proclamation) for the first time. The statue of Soekarno stands at 4.6 meters and weighs an immense 1,200 kilograms, while the slightly lighter statue of Hatta measures 4.4 meters.
