Tugu Jogja is one of the most famous icons in Yogyakarta that has a deep historical value. This monument was built in 1755 by Sultan Hamengkubuwono I as a symbol of unity between the ruler, the people, and God. In addition, Tugu Jogja also has a philosophical meaning because it is located on an imaginary line connecting Mount Merapi, Yogyakarta Palace, and the South Sea, symbolizing the balance of nature in Javanese beliefs.

Over time, Tugu Jogja underwent several renovations, until it finally took the shape we see today since the early 20th century. Today, Tugu Jogja is one of the favorite photo spots, especially at night when the surrounding lights are beautifully illuminated. Many tourists come to capture the moment here while enjoying the dynamic atmosphere of the city.

From Villa Jogja Tropical, Tugu Jogja can be reached by traveling about 7.5 kilometers. By private vehicle, the travel time is about 15 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. Visiting Tugu Jogja, both day and night, provides a unique experience and introduces tourists to the culture and history of Yogyakarta.
