JOKO DOLOG STATUE

The statue of Joko Dolog can be founded in Apsari park, close to Grahadi, the Governor of East Java's official residence in Surabaya. According to legend, the image was commissioned by King Kertanagara in A.D. 1289 to neutralize the effect of a curse which was preventing him from uniting the country's separate kingdoms. The statue thus stands as a symbol of Indonesian unity.
