Singasana Monument in Tabanan Targeted for Completion in December
The 30-metre-tall Singasana Monument, located at the former Office of National Unity and Politics and Fire Department in Delod Peken Village, Tabanan, has entered a critical construction phase. The monument’s supporting structure is currently being accelerated, while key elements such as the lion statue and fibre towers are being fabricated simultaneously in workshops. This new icon for Tabanan is planned for completion by December 2026.
The Head of the Tabanan Public Works and Spatial Planning Office (PUPR), I Gde Partana, explained on Monday (5/10/2026) that as of early October, the progress of this third stage has reached 50.6 per cent, which is approximately four per cent above the planned target of 46 per cent.
On-site works currently include the installation of pressed bricks as well as the floor and roof structures of the monument’s support. Meanwhile, several components of the monument are being worked on in parallel within workshops.
“Progress is at 50.6 per cent against a planned 46 per cent. There is a deviation of about 4 per cent, and we hope it will be completed in three months,” said Partana.
According to Partana, the workshop work includes the creation of the lion statue, a fibre-material tower, and railings using tempered glass. This parallel processing is being conducted to ensure the overall project is completed according to the schedule.
The Singasana Monument project involves a budget of approximately Rp14 billion. With progress already exceeding targets, the PUPR Office is optimistic that all works can be completed within the deadline.
“We are optimistic it will be finished according to target,” he asserted.
The Singasana Monument is designed not merely as a monument, but to become a new icon for the Tabanan Regency. The 30-metre-high structure carries a concept depicting Tabanan’s journey from the past and present to the future.
The choice of location is also deeply rooted in historical value. The area holds traces of the Tabanan people’s struggle during the war against the Dutch. This historical significance is integrated into the concept of the Singasana Monument Park area.
In the future, the area will not only feature the main monument. Several supporting facilities are being prepared, including seating areas, struggle reliefs, lion statues, and a basement designed to accommodate differences in land contour and elevation.
It was explained that the construction of the Singasana Monument is being carried out in stages. The previous stage completed the base and the pedestal of the monument. In this third stage, work is focused on completing the main structure of the monument and various supporting elements of the area.
With progress now exceeding half of the construction, the form of the Singasana Monument is gradually becoming visible.
“If all stages proceed according to schedule, the area can be enjoyed by the public by the end of 2026,” he concluded.
