Thomas Parr Monument, Colonial monument near Fort Marlborough in Bengkulu, Indonesia
The octagonal structure rises 13.5 meters high, featuring three arched entrances, six Tuscan columns, and a distinctive domed roof over 70 square meters.
The British East India Company erected this memorial in 1808 to commemorate Thomas Parr, their resident administrator who was killed during a local uprising.
Local residents interpret the monument differently from its original purpose, viewing it as a symbol of their determination to protect traditional customs.
The monument stands 170 meters southeast of Fort Marlborough, surrounded by a small park with trees and an iron fence for protection.
The structure bears the local name 'Kuburan Bulek', meaning Round Grave, due to its circular dome that stands out in the Bengkulu cityscape.
