Siger Tower (native : Menara Siger) is a tower which is also the zero point in southern Sumatra. It can be seen clearly when entering the port of Bakauheni, and it has become characteristic of the Lampung province gate.
"Siger" derives its name from the traditional customary hat for brides in Lampung's culture. The tower is colored yellow and red, representing the golden color of the bride's traditional hat. The tower is also in the form of a crown and consists of nine series which symbolizes the nine languages of Lampung. The building is also decorated with Tapis, the traditional Lampung cloth.
It was inaugurated by the governor of Lampung province, Sjachroedin Z.P. At the opening, the governor entered the tower together with ambassadors from Croatia, Sri Lanka, Japan, Palestine, Afghanistan, Singapore, the Philippines, the family of Sultan Banten and Sultan Kanoman Cirebon.
