Hero's Monument

The tragedy on 10th November 1945 and another historical episode, made Surabaya well known as the Heroes City. It is one of the reason it was built. Although there are many military statues in and around Surabaya, this one is certainly the imposing. The heroes monument stands like a rocket pointed towards the moon, in Taman Kebonrojo at the opposite of the East Java Governor's Office, Pahlawan street Central Surabaya. It's not omate or even decorative, not particulary large, but its simplicity may have been the delibrate plan of its architect to convey humble, rather than bellicose pride. The monument becomes a centre of major attention every November 10th, the day in 1945 when Surabaya com-memorates those heroes who died during the independence war
