An important symbol of Jakarta - the highest tower of the country (130 meters) located on it a viewing platform. Stella is set in the heart of the city and its inhabitants reminds of the years of struggle for independence. Located in the Plaza Tower Merdeka, which translated from Indonesian means "independence." If you look at the stele, it is virtually the same as the world famous Washington Monument.

The observation deck is located on the top of the tower (115 meters) and climb it is possible by means of the elevator. The underground part of the monument is also not allowed. There is a museum dedicated to the history of Indonesia.
