4.0Monumen Martha Christina Tiahahu(13 reviews) - Somewhere u can feel the grieve, nationalism, and spirit of Indonesian Monuments & Statues
Martha Christina Tiahahu was a teenager who never gave up to colonialism in Amboina. She is one of Indonesian heroines who fought for Indonesian freedom. She refused to give up to the collonialist, and prefered to die in hunger and loneliness. Her dead body was trown to the sea. It ignited the strugle of Maluku people to fight for freedom. Now, her statue is standing tall, up above the hill facing the Ambon Strait, seems strong and unbeatable. Come here when the sun sets, the beauty of Ambon ciry, Ambon straits, and the sky is combined perfectly. Feel the breeze, feel the fight of one young lady for freedom. I can stay there for quite long, like I have conversation with Martha Christina. My nasionalism is bursting there.See more..
4.5Commonwealth War Cemetery(13 reviews) - Poignant place for reflection Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Cemeteries • Monuments & Statues
A beautifully kept cemetery in the shade of flamboyant trees, it is also known as the Australian cemetery due to the large numbers of Australian servicemen buried here. The cemetery on the site of a former Japanese Prisoner of War camp is the resting place for Australians who died in the Japanese invasion and in the camp itself. There are British servicemen too mostly from the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force . During my research I read the following which anyone planning to visit should bear in mind........ "Please be aware that there have been a number of instances recently where visitors have been charged to enter the site. We would like to state, categorically, that the Commonwealth War Graves Commission does not charge anyone for entering any cemetery, and visitors should not pay anyone, in order to gain access."See more..
