Tugu Jong Sumatranen Bond, Independence memorial in Padang Barat, Indonesia.
The monument features a rectangular base supporting a triangular body that rises to a pyramidal top crowned with a spherical structure representing unity.
Built in 1919, this memorial marks the first congress of Jong Sumatranen Bond, an organization established to unite young people from Sumatra for regional development.
The monument displays inscriptions on each side commemorating the gathering of influential youth leaders who shaped the independence movement of Indonesia.
Located on Jalan Gereja street, the memorial stands 3 meters tall within a triangular plot protected by metal fencing for preservation purposes.
The cement used in construction came from NV Nederlansche Indische Portland, which later transformed into the major Indonesian company Semen Padang.
