Terletak
di pusat kota Surabaya di Jl Pahlawan, depan kantor Gubernur Jawa
Timur, berdiri sebuah monumen setinggi 41 meter untuk memperingati
Pertempuran Surabaya pada tanggal 10 Nopember 1945 di mana rakyat
Surabaya berperang melawan Sekutu dan pasukan Belanda yang ingin
menduduki Indonesia lagi. Tugu Pahlawan berbentuk paku terbalik dan
telah menjadi lambang penting bagi Surabaya. Tugu Pahlawan dibangun di
atas lahan seluas 2,5 hektar yang digunakan sebagai pengadilan tinggi
(Raad van Justitie) pada zaman kolonial Belanda. Selama pendudukan
Jepang bangunan itu digunakan sebagai pusat pelatihan bagi polisi
militer Indonesia melawan pendudukan Jepang. Selama Pertempuran Surabaya
pada 10 November 1945 pengadilan itu dihancurkan oleh Sekutu.

About Heroes Monument
Located in the centre of Surabaya in the Jl Pahlawan, in front of the East Java's Governor's office, stands a 41 meter high monument commemorating the Battle of Surabaya on 10 November 1945 in which the people of Surabaya fought against Allied and Dutch forces who wished to occupy Indonesia again. The monument has become Surabaya's landmark and is shaped as an upside down nail. It was build on a 2.5 hectare piece of land that used to be the High Courthouse (Raad van Justitie) in the Dutch colonial times. During the Japanese occupation the building was used as the base camp for the military police where many Indonesians were trialed and tortured for their resistance against the Japanese occupation. During the Battle of Surabaya in 10 November 1945 the Courthouse was destroyed by the Allies.President Sukarno laid the first stone of the monument on 10th November 1951, exactly six years after the battle.
