Kujang Monument, White obelisk at Otto Iskandardinata intersection, Bogor, Indonesia.
Kujang Monument is a 25-meter white obelisk located at the Pajajaran and Otto Iskandardinata intersection, topped with a traditional Sundanese weapon design. The Bogor city coat of arms is displayed prominently in the center of the structure.
The obelisk was built on 4 May 1982 during the term of Bogor mayor Achmad Sobana. It was placed at the junction of Pajajaran and Otto Iskandardinata roads, near the Bogor Botanical Garden, to carry a Kujang blade on top and the city coat of arms at its centre.
The Kujang is the traditional weapon of the Sundanese people, and the monument places a large Kujang blade atop the obelisk, with the Bogor city coat of arms at its centre. The two elements together mark the site as a symbol of the city and of Sundanese identity in West Java.
The monument is easy to find near Bogor Botanical Garden and Botani Square shopping center. The surrounding area was renovated in 2022 with pedestrian walkways and bicycle paths for comfortable circulation.
The central area surrounding the monument was redesigned in 2022 into an 8,500-square-meter space that invites people to linger and gather. This transformation changed the location from a simple traffic intersection into a genuine community gathering space.
