Visit the National Monument in the middle of Merdeka Square, a 132-meter tall monument with a gold-leaf flame on top, symbolizing the nation’s independence.

Take a trip to the Jakarta Cathedral, a building constructed in 1891 in the gothic style. Marvel at the high tower with high windows decorated with glass paintings.
