Monumen Perjuangan TNI AU

Monumen Perjuangan TNI AU is a military memorial in Bangunharjo featuring a white hexagonal cone structure rising about 4.5 meters high on a granite base. Names of fallen Indonesian Air Force members are inscribed on the pedestal.

The memorial was established in 1948 to commemorate an aircraft attack in 1947 during Indonesia's struggle against Dutch colonial rule. This incident marked a significant moment in the nation's fight for independence.

The site serves as a place where visitors can reflect on the role of the Air Force in Indonesia's struggle for independence. The memorial's design and inscriptions communicate respect for military sacrifice to those who pass through.

The site is located near the international airport and can be reached easily from Jalan Imogiri Barat main road. Visitors can walk around the memorial at their own pace and read the inscriptions clearly.

A replica aircraft component added in 2006 represents the aircraft destroyed during the 1947 incident. This addition brings a tangible connection to the historical event that the memorial honors.
