Gajah Mada Statue

It is Gajah Mada statue. It is made of stone. It is 2 meters height. It is located at “Pendopo Agung” park, Nglinguk village, Trowulan district. It is about two kilometers from my house, at Sidodadi. This statue puts there to commemorate the Duke (Mahapatih) Gajah Mada’s declaration of Oath of Palapa (Sumpah Amukti Palapa). Everyday, many visitors come there to see this statue. It is put in the middle of the “Pendopo Agung” Park and surrounded by big trees. It makes this area cool and fresh. Visitors like to take pictures, have a chat, take a walk, etc. around the statue. Usually, this place is very crowded on Sundays and other holidays. We can go there by motorcycles or cars. In my opinion, this statue needs to be on guard so that it won’t be touched by irresponsible hands.
