The stone monument features detailed relief work on its sides, with ornamental ponds and gardens enhancing the memorial structure at the intersection of major roads.

The monument commemorates a five-day battle from October 14 to 19, 1945, between Semarang youth and Japanese forces under Major Kido during the Indonesian revolution.

Every Heroes' Day, residents of Semarang gather at Tugu Muda to honor those who sacrificed their lives during the independence struggle through ceremonies and performances.
