Tugu Digulis
A red-and-white monument of sharpened-bamboo pillars on the roundabout in front of Tanjungpura University, honouring West Kalimantan heroes exiled to Boven Digoel.
The Digulis Monument stands on the roundabout in front of Tanjungpura University on Jalan Ahmad Yani. It consists of eleven red-and-white pillars shaped like sharpened bamboo (bambu runcing), commemorating eleven West Kalimantan national heroes who resisted Dutch colonial rule in the early 20th century and were exiled to the Boven Digoel internment camp in Papua. The surrounding Digulis Park is where locals exercise in the morning, cool off in the evening and eat snacks. It is a strong landmark, but there is not much more to see, so it suits a quick photo stop when passing by. Allow about 15 to 20 minutes.
