The location offers a good view over the city. However, if you're interested getting closer to the monument to take a picture you'll be asked for money.

Basically I love this place but this year though I felt in love with this monument back in February when we were celebrating "We4Unity". The event was so unique, fantastic and memorable. Abataje you can check pictures on Instagram ( on Akeza Net Account). Can't wait for the next event in 2020
