Proclamation Building Yard Compound

This compound is located at Jalan Proklamasi No. 56, Menteng, Central Jakarta, which was previously called Jalan Pegangsaan Timur No. 56. The monumental historical aspect of this location is that the independence of the Republic of Indonesia proclaimed here on August 17, 1945 at 10.00 hours, Java time. Originally this yard compound was the yard of the residence of Ir. Soekarno, the first President of Republic of Indonesia, which was selected to be the venue for proclaiming the independence of the Republic. This location has become very important for the younger generation in tracing back the history of the founding fathers of the State of Indonesia.
