The Jalesveva Jayamahe Monument, meaning 'Victorious in the Sea,' is a 30-meter-tall bronze statue of a naval officer in full dress uniform, gazing out over the Madura Strait. Located at the entrance of Tanjung Perak Port, it commemorates Indonesia's naval heritage and the importance of maritime defense. Visitors can walk around the base for impressive views of the port and passing ships, and learn about the monument's symbolism through nearby plaques.
