Clean Jakarta's National Monument
Workers clean the shaft of the National Monument (Monas) in Jakarta, Indonesia, on July 15, 2026. The cleaning is part of a routine maintenance project expected to last about six months to preserve one of the capital's best-known landmarks, while the monument remains open to visitors during the work. Monas continues to draw thousands of visitors, including 126 foreign tourists from countries such as China, Japan, Germany, Britain, South Korea, Malaysia, Italy and Australia.
