The Proclamation Monument (Tugu Proklamasi) on Jl. Proklamasi in Menteng marks the exact spot where Soekarno and Hatta declared Indonesian independence on 17 August 1945. The site includes bronze statues of both founding fathers and a small park.
The proclamation was originally read in front of Soekarno's house at Jl. Pegangsaan Timur 56 (now Jl. Proklamasi). The monument was erected in 1980 to permanently mark the birthplace of the Republic of Indonesia.
