One of the historical bridges in Indonesia is the Ampera Bridge in Palembang City, South Sumatra. Built in 1962, this bridge is an icon of the city and an important historical symbol. Ampera was originally an abbreviation of "People's Suffering Mandate" which describes the spirit of struggle of the people of Palembang.
The Ampera Bridge has two 63 meter high towers that adorn the Musi River. Even though it originally functioned as a connecting bridge between two parts of the city, now this bridge is more of a tourist attraction and a symbol of historical pride for Palembang residents.
